A year ago to the week that I got to see the Rose coloured Starling at Hags Head.
Late news of bird had me on the road in the morning to Rinevella bay, south Clare. A message beeped to say the bird was there... and there it was hanging out with 3 adult European Starlings on a wire overlooking a garden next to the seafront.
The rain was consistant and the birds were moving about feeding but they never joined the juvenile Starling flock that were feeding near the Cows and beach shoreline, As the rain got a bit heavy I relocated them on the Sea Wall rocks, looking Grumpy and wet.
