「青い鳥」ですよね。見かけたらラッキーかな？ わりと人懐っこい性格なのかもしれません。写真を撮らせてくれることが多い。

青緑色に輝く、美しい鳥です。とても派手なのに、葉が茂った枝のところにとまっていると、なかなか見つけられなかったりします。ムクドリと言えば、白と黒の斑模様のあるグレーがかった地味な鳥というイメージだったので、この派手な鳥がムクドリの仲間と言われても、なかなかピンときませんでした。でもコムクドリの存在を知りまして、背中はメタリックカラーな光沢なので、なるほど納得。

This beauty popped up in my Apple feed today. I photographed this member of the Lamprotornis family (a type of starling) while on safari in the Sabi Sabi Game Preserve in South Africa. The orange eye pops in contrast to the beautiful blues.

Cape Starling - eBird
A medium-sized iridescent blue-green glossy starling that lacks dark ear-patches and has greenish flanks and belly, giving it a more uniform appearance than the “blue-eared” starlings. Pairs and small groups occupy high-altitude grassland, Karoo, and savanna, including drier habitats than other glossy starlings. The species feeds on the ground and in trees on fruit and insects; often it scavenges from people. It gives a rolling “turrreaau” flight call and harsh “karrr” alarm notes. Similar “blue-eared” starlings differ from Cape Starling by being smaller and having blue-magenta flanks and belly that give them a less uniform appearance.

Another go at a bird meme for @mybirdcards.com I expect I'll be doing a lot of tinkering with these, as I'm still far from confident with my graphic design skills (or lack of them!) 😅
