Starling numbers have swollen in recent weeks and the birds are currently spending long periods in murmurations. A large crowd of people gathered next to the first games pavilion this afternoon to watch this spectacular display. One observer wished that the pier owners would turn off the caterwauling music during murmuration time, so we can hear the wing beats. I heartily agree with her suggestion. I just caught them on the turn, as all birds in this visible portion faced the camera.
