I decided to have another day out and visit the Rosy Starling that has taken up residence in a cherry tree near Wetherby. This is my fifth British Rosy Starling but the first one in full adult plumage, although I have seen them like this in Oman. It really was a stunning bird and very showy at times, well worth the journey over. With the invasion continuing I am optimistic that one will be found in the Halifax recording area, maybe even on Soil Hill.
