For the last few evening I have been able to enjoy a mini "murmuration" from my back patio. The main flock looks to be about 200 birds while other smaller flocks do their own aerobatics in the same vicinity and occasionally merging. I have not seen this in previous years and I have no idea where they will come down to roost. The river is not far away so I'm assuming there is a hands bed of rushes to accommodate them all.
Wow! What a treat to be able to see such a wonderful miracle from your own patio

Nice to see JS, have never seen it myself, apart from on the tv.
I went to see one at Ham Wall nature reserve, drove over 2 hours specially to see them perform
, and it was so worth it, absolutely magical unforgettable experience!
There was between 40000 and 50000 of them murmurating when I went

The young starlings have been in my garden all day today and haven't been silent at any time.

My numbers are building, but they seem quiet.
