Taken by renowned wildlife photographer William D. Jaynes, this image showcases the stunning beauty of this African bird in its natural habitat. The Violet-backed Starling is a resident breeder in southern Africa, and is easily identified by its iridescent purple and green plumage. With its beady black eyes and distinctive orange beak, this bird is a sight to behold. In this photograph, the reflection in the waterhole perfectly mirrors the bird's image, creating a mesmerizing effect that adds depth and dimension to the image. The serene waterhole, surrounded by lush vegetation, provides a perfect backdrop for the Violet-backed Starling's reflection.

The photograph was taken by Jaynes, a world-renowned wildlife photographer, who has spent decades capturing the beauty and diversity of wildlife across the globe. His work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibitions, including at Jaynes Gallery, where this image is available for purchase.
