A Murmuration of Starlings

Starlings and Aberystwyth Pier

Starlings and Aberystwyth Pier

It was a lovely day on Saturday so we decided to head into Aber and take a walk through the castle and along the prom. I’m glad we did as we were treated to a pretty spectacular display as a huge flock of Starlings came to roost under the pier.

There were plenty of people out watching them and taking photos, so I thought I’d better join them and take some of my own!

It also gives me an excuse to use the proper collective noun for a starlings – a MURMURATION, which is a perfect name for them!
