UK Weather : Starlings murmuration at sunset in Aberystwyth

Add to Lightbox

Aberystwyth Wales UK, Friday 22 January 2016

Thousands of starlings take to the skies above Aberystwyth pier at sunset before settling for the night on the Victorian structure’s cast-iron legs in a spectacular 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
