Geograph - photograph every grid square

taken 18 years ago, near to Gretna Green, Dumfries And Galloway, Scotland

A large number of starlings congregate at Gretna every evening at sunset during the winter months to perform an elaborate aerobatic display before roosting in nearby conifer plantations. It can be quite breathtaking to witness the birds twisting into unusual patterns in the sky.
