| | | Starlings
All afternoon flocks of starlings have been arriving around my bungalow. There are thousands of them there and they are making a noise like a children's school playground.
Hopefully as the sun sets they will give one of those flying displays we've all seen on TV. I'll be ready at my back door with the camera at the ready. |

This is a great sight if you've never seen it, happens most nights by my dad's place. they come in to roost about 20m from his window.
Hope you get some good shots.  |

I went into the office at the front of the bungalow for 15 minutes, returned and they have all disappeared. The silence is eerie. Looks like they didn't dance here, but seeing so many birds taking to the sky was a sight I'm sorry to miss. |
