That may have been the last sighting, it was looked for, but not seen on Sunday and Tuesday, with no reports from Monday

Rosy Starling still present early Morning at Coopers Heights. The 278th bird for my Somerset List. My target for the Year being 2 ‘New’ Birds for my County List. A good start to 2023!
