Shetland Starling (Sturnus vulgaris ssp zetlandicus) with food in its bill, about to feed its brood, Jarlshof, Mainland South, Shetland
The Shetland Starling (ssp zetlandicus) differs from the Common Starling (ssp vulgaris) that is widespread in Europe by being slightly larger, having a slightly larger and more broadly-based bill, sturdy, thick legs and longer wings. The juveniles are usually very dark, with a sooty ground colour, which makes the black chin spots and white belly streaks more noticeable.
