A misplaced starling

Black birds are generally not appealing to most and for those feathers with plumage that are cast to dark hues under poor light, it is even easier to mistake them as crows. However unlike the larger raven family, Asian Glossy starling are smaller in size at ~20cm in length with dirty green plumage that turns irridescent under direct sunlight. Cam metering and AF system simply hates these ruby-eyed feathers cause 9 out of 10 shots are probably off focus. On some rare occassions, these feathers simply stay perched and allow ample time for prefocus. So don't be too hasty to prejudge these feathers based on their plumage alone. Humans always have this folly. I hope u are not one of them.
