Starling murmuration 2023 # 1
* It has been four years since I have the opportunity to photograph a Starling murmuration .This was taken from almost the same place I took some shots in 2019 .This year the event took place inland over the Far Inns nature reserve . The images from the murmuration in 2019 were over the River Humber. Impossible to speculate how many Starlings were involved the RSPB site says it can be up to 100,000.
Despite the incredible size of the flocks, starling numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be. The starling population has fallen by more than 80 per cent in recent years, meaning they are now on the critical list of UK birds most at risk.
The decline is believed to be due to the loss of permanent pasture, increased use of farm chemicals and a shortage of food and nesting sites in many parts of the UK.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
