Starlings!!!

This is the same tree as in my previous blip. It is worth taking a look at both. You would not believe that so many thousands of birds could all fit on one small tree.

They arrived in stages. I have one picture of the tree absolutely laden with birds. Then they started to take off and "murmurate"

success!!

I will go again soon as I just love trying to capture the actual murmurations.

Many thanks for your wonderful comments on the empty tree, a good job the sky was half decent, not quite as subtle a sky this evening.
