Starlings Roosting


At this time of year in Somerset, we see starlings flying overhead in large groups, heading towards the levels to roost. It is quite a sight, both my children comment and say, "look, there's a formation of birds!"


I am hoping that we can get closer this year and take some photos. There are some reserves close to Glastonbury with hides and river walks and if we arrive at the right time, I 'd love to see the birds swoop down to land.
At the moment I'm wondering if it's just too cold!...........
