Rose-coloured Starling

At last my bogey bird has been put to bed!

Just last year I spent 4 complete days trying to tie one down; two at Frampton Marshes and two in the Titchwell area.

Orford in Suffolk has, today ,come to the rescue.

Pity it was a 1st Summer rather than a full adult---they all count however!
