Aberystwyth Wales UK, Friday 22 January 2016

Some of the thousands of starlings settling for the night on Aberystwyth pier's cast-iron legs in a ritual repeated daily during autumn and winter

Each evening between October and March tens of thousands of the birds fly in huge ‘murmurations; in the sky above the town before settling to roost for the night on the cast iron legs of the Victorian seaside pier. Aberystwyth is one of only a handful of urban starling roosts in the UK. Although plentiful in Aberystwyth, the starling is on the RSPB’s ‘red list’ of endangered species in the UK
