Rose-Coloured Starling visits local town

This week birders, photographers and the general public have all been treated to stunning views of an adult male Rose-Coloured Starling (Pastor roseus) in Wells-next-the-sea.

It can be found along the road to East Quay in a small garden on the north side of the road.

Its typical breeding range starts in the very east of Europe and extends into Asia minor, moving to India and tropical Asia in winter.

This very confiding bird has been giving excellent views and it is definitely worth popping along and seeing if you are in the area.
