Rose-coloured Starling

Lade - hot, dry and sunny, E 2 - Last night produced a decent numbers of moths of 21 species in the garden trap but nothing of any real quality. The local patch was predictably quiet again with a late Greenshank over calling being the only evidence of any migration.
Dungeness - However, a call from PB told of an adult Rose-coloured Starling that was initially seen by West Beach cottage and then relocated at the southern end of the Trapping Area. I was pushed for time but had obscured views of the bird as it fed in a sallow about 30 yds away. As always with adult Rosy Starlings, a very smart rarity indeed. Check out the DBO website for pics.
