#starling cloud

March seems to be the best time of year to watch the Starlings Sturnus vulgaris (all photos) with the later evening and better weather, although the absence of predators means they don't form as many shapes as they do in other areas, although I was in for a surprise... Out of nowhere a Peregrine Falco peregrinus (4) swooped in panicking the birds. Hopefully it'll stick about and keep the birds performing well.
