I haven't seen one in the UK, but apparently there have been over 40 reports of Rosy Starlings this year, according to Bird Guides UK, hope you get to see it. Honey Buzzard over the Forest of Dean yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My M-in-L said there was one spotted on Walney a few weeks ago, lots of twitchers out she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think they are quite attractive birds. The last one I saw was near to Winterton, Norfolk. Pictures taken on 23rd June 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 It seems that if you have fat balls like Whitebridges and the person in Stone then Rose comes to visit. This does unfortunately mean that there will never be one in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
