Lots of Starlings....But no Rose to be seen!

Yesterday we took the boat over to St Agnes...it was panadonum at the quay, very low tides, swapping of vessels to suit afore mentioned tides, a Crusie ship, swelling the numbers of the confused and elderly...I was all for about turning and retiring to the nearest bar for a local ale...when Ste reminded me it was only 09:30.

Ste has a new tripod, back pack thingy, which is now classed as a semi dangerous weapon! He managed to wield it around getting on the boat and there were cries of watch out and duck..quickly followed by apologetic smiles from me! Safely aboard, we were whizzed over to St Agnes, hopped off and rushed up the quay, quick look at the Turks Head for suitable beverages to be consumed at lunchtime and off we strode to the other side of the Isle in search of Rose Coloured Starling. We scanned high and low and were briefly distracted from our search on two occasions by ice-creams freshly made at the local farm. Despite best efforts we did not catch up with our quarry, slightly grumps, we nipped into the Turks Head, before rejoining the elderly and confused, making their way back to St Mary's. 

On return to St Mary's, I looked at the pager and there was a Rose Coloured Starling at Morssions in Penzance...oh well some things are not meant to be! The day was not a complete loss, managed to add some very nice bird earrings to my collection.....
