Plumstone

Starlings seemed to appear in numbers from soon after 5pm until we left around 5.30pm. We didn't witness any exaggerated gyrations with most dropping straight into the plantation but the sheer number of birds was fantastic to see, some coming at head height! At least 2 sparrowhawk, 2 kestrel, 2 buzzards, a merlin had a go, at least one peregrine and a goshawk earlier pre-starlings but didn't notice it once the action began. Also in the forestry a flock of around 10 bullfinch and a GS woodpecker.
