Very nice, every starling I've ever captured on camera has had amazing colours, it's a bird people don't appreciate because the colouring is subtle and the birds move quickly. Frozen in a frame, they are amazing.

Thanks folks !
Yes this lens is great... This picture was cropped pretty heavily, and even with that heavy crop, it retains some sharpness. The Bird was about 50-60 feet away
See below the original size image and subject...
