Ham Wall Starlings
IT was a bit risky to expect much on a windy and overcast day like today, but the thousands of starlings were still quite spectacular. I arrived late too, so was lucky to see them wheeling around the sky. The flock has amassed on a line of willows, then rose up to settle down into the reeds for the night.
A buzzard, and maybe a smaller bird of prey, did spook the starlings for a few moments, but the breezy evening kept the birds low when I was there.
The numbers peak in the new year, but there was still a huge flock tonight and the sounds of the murmuration was as loud as ever - worth the trip.
