Pallid Harrier (adult male!) & Rosy Starling (juvenile)

Yesterday afternoon Steve Jones had an adult male Pallid Harrier over Nine Wells.  He has seen it again this morning at Dowrog Common heading towards the Bug Farm, so that is likely where it roosted.  A screesnshot of his post on Twitter (X) below:


For the past two days Gareth Bowen has had a juvenile Rosy Starling visiting the feeders in his garden.  This record was picked up by Gareth's post on the West Wales Wildlife group on Facebook.  This is the link to the latest post:

Gareth says in the comments: "Location is my garden in St Florence. Ive recorded it on ebird/bird track . I imagine it could be seen around the village. The churchyard and the village sports field would be a good place to try. Twice ive seen it knocking around with a small flock of Starlings near the Church."
