Putting the starling murmuration in context

During starlings season photographers line the pier and the beach. My intention was to capture the photographers lined up on the pier with the murmuration in the frame. That was dependent on the starlings flying nearer the beach or taking a wide angle lens. Luckily I managed to capture a few shots.

 

It wasn't until I looked at this shot that I realised I'd also captured a photographer in the water. That's the black dot just below the photographers,

 

Brighton and Hove council announced earlier in the football season that whenever the Seagulls were playing in the UEFA league and at the Amex stadium, then all public places would be lit up in blue. They were playing in Rome last night but I managed to capture the pier neon lights in blue.
