Red Billed Starling ??

A look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham today got me a SPOONBILL that was first seen yesterday , a LITTLE EGRET , 50+ CURLEW , a COMMON SANDPIPER ,
a lone CHIFFCHAFF that was singing its head off , & numerous HOUSE MARTIN with a few SWALLOW & SAND MARTIN in with them .
Also seen was this RED-BILLED STARLING from China & the far east it is obviously an escape but still a smart bird to see .
