Rose Coloured Starling

Mablethorpe Victoria Road
In back garden of No 95 feeding on the guys bird table, it sat with just its head visable on his pagoda, then it would fly off to the Council compound across the road from the car park were it would feed around the rubbish bags from the waste bins.
Watched for two hours in crappy weather, dull and dark then raining, always a great distance away in the compound when the sun came out.

Flowerdown Avenue Cranwell Lincolnshire
Despite being near death when first found this plucky bird managed to last well into the new year, it could be elusive at times but when it showed it normally did so down to a few feet.

Flower Down Avenue Cranwell Lincolnshire, when we eventually found the bird it looked sick, it was perched near a window with its eye closed and allowed its self to be touched, if it survives the night i will be surprised.
