Marloes Mere

A brief stop at Marloes Mere on our evening bike ride was rewarded with a Rosy Starling. 

Initially on the ground in the turnip field just past Runwayskiln, it then flew over the track and into the willows near the hide. It remained perched and preening in the evening sunlight and was still there when we left at 19:45.

A very exciting bird for a couple of reasons; firstly I've somehow managed to miss every Rosy I've ever been remotely close to, so a tick for me and secondly I saw and called it before Dave!

PLEASE NOTE: The Marloes Sands car-park remains closed, so this is one for those close enough  to access it on foot or two wheels.
