with a good comparison shot against a common UK Starling.

It was on the roof of a house, 2 down from the Texaco garage on the roundabout on the sea front for an hour or so then flew off inland. There we quite a few different flocks of Starlings (500+ birds). Chatting to the local waste material technicians (bin men!), they said they have been feeding the bird chips at lunchtime (for the last week) near the chip shop on the front, just past the childrens playground opposite the Texaco garage. Well done to Peter for spotting it for us!
