The African Superb Starling is such a beautiful rainbow of colours. When it makes an entrance, it really makes an entrance; it's no shrinking violet. Rare, though, is the moment when it stays still long enough to get a photo of it, but got it I did, as it waited for its turn to bathe in the waterfall.

Colour ink illustration and watercolour painting of a superb starling. Superb starlings are a species of glossy starling bird found in Africa. They have a short tail and very distinctive plumage. The feathers on the head are black, with an iridescent body and wings graduating from blue to turquoise to green. Their underside is orange red with a white band dividing the two colours, with a few white areas on the underparts. Their eyes are a bright white grey.
