The bird was found the day before by Johan and Måns. Their comments: "Ad female or 2CY male. Fresh plumage, remiges browner than the coverts, no traces of brown in the pink, short crest. White edges of black undertail coverts." This is the first record of Rose-coloured Starling on Gotska Sandön. The picture was taken in the afternoon shortly before Johan and Måns returned to Nynäshamn.
