Rose coloured Starling

A weekend of highs and lows. Me and Dave got up early yesterday and went to Wykeham Forest hoping for Honey Buzzards. The weather was aweful so no show from the Honeys. We did get great views of Goshawk, Hobby, Common Buzzard, Crossbill and Turtle Dove.
Today as it was father's day I managed to briefly escape and twitch the amazing Rose coloured Starling at  Rhos on sea. I also got to test out my new Nikon 80-400VR lens. I am very pleased with the results and glad I got rid of my Sigma 150-500 which I just couldn't get on with, too heavy and consistently soft results.
