On the drive from Yate to Stone there was a Stonechat on wires at Cromhall, which seemed an odd place for one. Then at Stone met a few other birders who were looking for the starling and learned of a roof-top which the bird had been seen several times. After a wait of just over an hour the adult Rose-coloured Starling appeared, dipping to the other side of the roof a lot, it did show several times perched on the roof-ridge.
