They're back.... and in their thousands

If you have not seen the amazing spectacle of many thousands of Starling falling like wet confetti from 200 ft into a reed bed, then now's your chance. If you have you will want to see it all over again,

At 17:50 this evening, with no wind and a light sky, wave upon wave of black lentil shaped formations appeared over the Slebech hillside. Twisting and turning in disciplined squadrons they fell into the reed bed below the Lookout at Minwear. The murmuring began, the reed bed collapsed and by 18:10 the sky was clear.

See it now before the reed beds are totally flattened and the roost moves on.

Also from the Minwear Lookout this PM..... 8 Little Grebes, 3 Green Sands, 1 Common Sand and a Kingfisher. 60 Mallard flew up river as dusk fell.

From Lydstep Head this AM 15 Swallows and 1 House Martin heading towards Caldey.
