Rosy Starlings

Just a heads up for anyone interested, there seems to be another Rosy Starling eruption from Eastern Europe and a few have reached our shores as a few did last year. Normally a very rare visitor this far North West for a bird usually found in Eastern Europe to India.
They could appear anywhere often with our native Starlings but stand out being pink and black. A few hundred have been seen in Spain and are moving northwards.
with sightings on Guernsey, and at Portland and Kent.
I was lucky to see this one in Weymouth last June where it stayed for two weeks.
You can't really miss them!!

 

Thats a starling?
Looks a bit like the magpie the cat brought me this morning.

 

I see what you mean but the colour is more intense than the pics show being pink but it is the same size as our Starlings. Likes cherry trees too.

 

Not as many of these have arrived on our shores as expected but five have been seen in Dorset and here is one.
Distant but still a stunning bird.
