Subject: [SABN] Rose-coloured Starling: first for Southern Africa
Hi all,
Rose-coloured Starling: a first for southern Africa!
I've included a web link below to a bird, putatively identified as the first
Rose-coloured Starling for Southern Africa. It was discovered and
photographed by Jörgen Sagvik, a Swedish birder visiting the Kalahari
Gemsbok National Park/Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the Northern Cape,
South Africa, on the 15th July 2005 near the Mata Mata Rest Camp, and he
sent the photos through to me yesterday.
Have a look at http://www.birdingafrica.com > African Birding Resources >
then click the Rose-coloured Starling link on the sidebar under Highlights.
Critical comments are welcome, please.
Rose-coloured Starling is a famed wanderer from its south-east European
breeding grounds and there are scattered records in North Africa. Dave
Fisher informs me that there is even a record from the Seychelles!
All the best,
Callan
