Starling love.
Our murmuration output is not even remotely popular. We love seeing and learning about them. We love making photos/videos of them.
So, expect many more such postings, ignore as you wish😊

Today - hunting Firecrest, no photos but amazed at how well the D850 picked out small birds from a dark and complex scenes - including several Goldcrest (UK smallest bird at 5-7g).

Tonight - not quite the dynamism of last night's murmuration with a "cleaner" sky, and the raptors were less evident in their attack runs...

The Starling flock is now at a size where estimated numbers are meaningless. It's a big #murmuration - image is unmodified.
You count them if you want to😁

Whilst it's the Starlings who provide the spectacle, and noone knows why they murmurate, it's the pursuing predators which drive such contortions as this.

Not all of the Starlings will survive the night. This Sparrowhawk grabbed a victim and killed it on the ice adjacent to the roost site - prompting thousands to relocate.

Tonight - best murmuration of the winter so far and the flock has doubled in size in the last few days to to c40-45k birds.
Rapid flock size changes are normal for Starlings

Today.
The Firecrest (a lifer) was so elusive that all I got was a distant smudge - so here's a very dark morph Red Kite which did its best to maintain the day's theme by maintaining both altitude and distance.
