Rose-coloured Starling -- Haverfordwest

Portfield-- Haverfordwest, 1000;-

The 1st w. showing well this am., usual site & viewing instructions.

Lyndon met with the finder & intial identifier of the bird, Jacqui Watson this early this am. Photos taken from her garden & will be published here later today.

Many Thanks Jacqui, for finding and identifying the bird, & informing the Pembs. Birds site for all to be able to enjoy. Many Thanks again!

Becoming the norm, our birds are attracting birders from afar! A delighted birder from Manchester was proclaiming his thanks to Lyndon this am, --- for a lifer.!!

Many thanks to Bob for adding the ageing "bit" from the ringing guide. Suprisingly BWP also states that adults bills can go partially yellow in winter too. Dave's points about the pale fringing of the coverts/flight feathers is mentioned in BWP, & that any fringing on an adults newly moulted flight feathers would have worn off by now, leaving the flight feathers completely glossy black.
We look forward to the photos to help the discussion. There will not be any attempt made to catch the bird.
