I managed to see this bird this afternoon. Rob, the owner of the house in whose garden it is frequenting, is now very unfriendly towards birders; in fact he is sick of them! I was the third person today to ask permission to view the bird. There are warning signs for birders everywhere stopping them entering his garden/trespassing.
DIRECTIONS
Luckily there is a public footpath on the south side of his house overlooking the trees in his garden. To reach this you have to walk along the tarmac road to behind the new refurbished flats/old school. Turn left through the gate down some steps in a wall to a concrete pad with a cattle trough. From here you will see the bird frequent the trees in his garden. There are feeders in his front garden, where a few of us waited for a while but where the starling does not visit.
Hope this clarifies things now.... Craig Shaw http://boat33.webs.com/
