ROSE-COLOURED STARLING in Cumbria

A juvenile ROSE-COLOURED STARLING has been present 2 miles SE of Kendal and 0.75 miles west of New Hutton for 12 days. From the A684 take Beehive Lane and take a road on top of the hill to SD 548915. This is a park-type housing development (though no building work is currently evident) along with a few existing houses - and an old school.

The bird is frequenting a private garden with special access, arranged in advance with the owner. At present, I do not have any specific details, but some 50 local birders have already taken advantage of 'special invites'.
