UK Weather : Starlings at dawn in Aberystwyth

Add to Lightbox

Aberystwyth Wales UK, Monday 28 December 2015

Just before sunrise on a fine clear December morning, thousands of tiny starlings fill the sky as they fly out to their feeding grounds en masse from their overnight roost under the Pier in Aberystwyth on the west wales coast

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
