Sturnus vulgaris
Very common dark blue to blackish bird; with a blue sheen in its feathers, and heathers speckled white. In adult and subadult (I believe subadult is portrayed - or juvenile at the end of first winter, just becoming an adult) in summer period, the bill is yellow (blackish in winter).
Very common in woodland areas, urban setting and agricultural areas. Flocks in large numbers after breeding. Here seen in urban setting (but very calm small town and close to a big wooded + meadow park), and all together close to slopes of Jura and coasts of lake Leman (Geneva).
Observed during the Great Backyard Bird Count.
