Rosy Starling in Wiltshire........

5 Aug - News of an adult Rose-coloured Starling in Corsham as part of the current national influx. I headed down and found the correct garden, a large flock of Starlings feeding on food put out on the lawn - and then it appeared on the roof, very distinctive and striking with its pink and black plumage amongst its commoner congeners. A Wiltshire tick. I visited again the following evening, 6th, and had good views in evening sunlight (the previous day having been dull and overcast). An excellent local bird, and seen by a lot of Wiltshire birders.
