Sturnus vulgaris
This starling was among the first seen in my garden in March last; it was cold, snow, and they could find food very difficult......I put apples on some branches, and they were grateful !:) Within this framework, the starling shaking his head of snow.

Ok, thanks!
You're seeing what we all see. It looks like it was a well-timed shot that caught the bird as it shook its head.
Why am I seeing a swirl for a head? Did this happen to other people?
Amazing timing :)
What the heck happened to its head?
Great photo!
I think it's a juvenile common starling
