I'd call the plumage detail in this pic pretty impressive Ian and a nice plumage too. I presume you mean the facial expression of the Starling isn't 'particularly' beautiful.

I was referring to its facial features Pete. The beak looks a bit on the dangerous side.
Nice capture Ian :-cthumb
Starlings are not un-pretty. Some times they can look really lovely They can mimic as well and be taught to talk.
You are quite right about the Starlings ability to mimic Beryl. I once heard one from our kitchen window which thought it was a Curlew with remarkable accuracy.
