Starlings

 Thanks to Linda and Mike Moffat I got news that the Starling roost in Redditch town centre is pretty spectacular at the moment.

I went there this evening and drove up to level 10 of Car Park 2 before walking the last couple of levels to the roof. From there it was possible to watch the birds arriving from 17.00, with the crescendo being at 17.20 when the birds all pile into the Leylandii below.

I estimated at least 9000 birds in total.

Its well worth a visit, but don't forget to pay £1.50 at level 4 for your parking on the way out.

I was hoping to post a video, but the file's too big for my computer. So here are a couple of photos.
