Starlings over Rodbourne, Swindon (1)
Recent media reports led me to take a run out to see this spectacle. The location isn't that romantic. At the left is a bus depot and to the right a sewage treatment works. There were several smaller flocks that came together to form one flock which wheeled around in the sky. After a while a group of several hundred would break off from the mass and dive into a row of conifers alongside the works. This continued until there was a small flock left, which also suddenly descended into the trees bringing the display to an end for the night. This is the first image of three. Next image:
