Technicolored dream coat.
#1

Young Rainbow-bird. (My name for them)

It is really a common UK garden bird.

A Starling, normally black with a long yellow beak, but this one is in it's technicolored dream coat. The feathers are irridescent, and the sun just happened to catch it that day.

Thanks for the comments. Might have just had a bath, but the young ones fluff the feathers up. The next two shots I took of it, look like a totally different bird.
