Brilliant Rob. What time of day did the 'show' begin? I really should nip up and see this.

Great shots.
I get starlings gathering on the top of my building, nothing like these though.

Hi Chris - I was there from about 5:00pm until 6:20pm, I found the best place was following the main path, parallel to the road, from the RSPB centre down towards the central causeway and public hide. There's a conveniently placed bench half way along this that gives good views over the reserve and luckily they went down into the reeds in-front of that (but quite a way in front). Also saw Sparrowhawk, Barn Owl, and a Peregrine from the same spot. Good luck i- t's well worth it..

Cheers Rob. I know exactly the bench you talk of . I better 'get weaving' and get up there soon before they disperse in the spring. Well done on the Barn Owl too. I got to the Moss a lot and I've yet to see one there.
