Winterstar / Winter starling - a photo on Flickriver

            Eigentlich sind die Stare rechtzeitig vor dem großen Kälteeinbruch in Richtung Italien abgeflogen. Dieser hier aber hat wohl irgendwie den gemeinsamen Abflug verpasst. Als er heute bei mir im Garten auftauchte dachte ich erst ich sehe nicht richtig.  Stare sind sehr gesellige Vögel, jeder der sie schon einmal gesehen hat weiß, dass sie immer in Gruppen auftreten und sich lauthals ständig austauschen. Diesem Star ist jetzt nicht nur ziemlich kalt, sondern er scheint auch einsam zu sein. In der Fichte hat er die Nähe zu einer Amsel gesucht aber die hat ihn nur angefaucht und auf Abstand gehalten. Ich drücke ihm die Daumen, dass er es allein durch den Winter schafft. 
Tech. Details: Aufgenommen am 16.12.22 12:40 Uhr mit Canon 7DII, 1/1000s, Blende 9, ISO-400, 468mm mit Sigma 150-600 DG Contemporary.

Actually, the starlings flew off in the direction of Italy in good time before the great cold snap. But this one here somehow missed the joint departure. When it appeared in my garden today, I thought at first I this cannot be a starling, I must be wrong. Starlings are very sociable birds, anyone who has ever seen them knows that they always appear in flocks and are always communicating with each other. This starling seems to feel pretty lonely. In the spruce it tried to get close to a male blackbird, but the blackbird hissed at him and kept him at a distance. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the starling makes it through the winter on his own.
