Rose coloured Starlings.

Its worth keeping your eyes on Starling flocks to see if one of them has a Rose coloured Starling in their midst.

Bit of an influx going on from eastenmost Europe at the moment.

not my photo.

I'm surprised that any unusually coloured interloper isn't attacked and killed.

Maybe starlings are more sociable the human beings?

It can be the case, but ive not seen evidence of the ones ive encountered, they can hang around for a while frequenting the same garden.

so pretty, I've never seen those before, wish I had. I love birds, sooooo many species with so much colour, I wouldn't mind taking up bird watching

They are indeed bonny birds, the first i saw had been in a garden for two weeks, the owner thought was a funny coloured magpie.
