These fellows look like they already have their winter plumage. The summer one is more glossy black.

I like these guys because of their sparkly chests :)

Somogy county, Hungary

 

On a cold morning in February 2009 near where we live in Hungary, I encountered these fellows sitting in a tree.

Going through my archives yesterday, I stumbled over this blurry shot and had a closer look. Asking the guys at ‘Birdforum’, I got my confirmation. Another Lifer, ticked from my armchair ;)
