Rosy Starling — two months on (video)
The Rosy Starling that has been present since November last year . Moult appears to have progressed a little, but there is still a long way to go. It was associating with a flock of White-cheeked Starlings, Red-billed Starlings, and Common Starlings.
The moult is progressing and the juvenile look is starting to fade from the face.
If it stays until March, I should get to see that beautiful rosy colour.
Around the end of the year I often saw large flocks of White-shouldered Starlings, but lately it's mostly groups of just a few birds. Maybe they've spread out across the island?
Female Siberian Stonechat. Small numbers are wintering here.
