Starlings RSPB Leighton Moss 230219c

            Starling Murmuration, Leighton Moss RSPB.

A spectacular end to a superb day at Leighton Moss, we had actually just driven away, after we had spoken to a local farmer, who said he had not seen the Starlings for a week or so, the light had gone, the clouds had rolled in, etc.

Just as we drove away, we noticed a small murmuration, so we decided to turn around and go back in, that proved a very good decision, as more and more birds started to arrive, the sky started to turn pinker and pinker as the clouds on the horizon lifted. Nature at her very finest.

This one was as the murmuration shapes, were at their peak.
