200 Starlings brighten up the leaden sky of Hanoi

Hi all,

Some news about our Purple-backed Starlings. Well, they seems to be much more numerous than before, that's good. Today at noon, at Lenin Park, I encountered a large flock of around 200 individuals that were gorging themselves on small fruits.

I stayed a rather long time over there and didn't noticed any other species among them. 100% Purple-backed !






The flock above the Park Lenin Lake. I counted 200-210 birds, you can try !

But before, without the help of the camera, I estimated it around... 60-80 individuals -- ughh !

Sébastien
