I usually cycle to work but I live close enough to walk in when the mood takes me. When walking home I take a slightly different route than I do when biking and have noticed a swarm of starlings (a murmuration?) at dusk. It's quite a noisy built up area (near the A38 in north Bristol) with a few bits of open ground but they must have found somewhere safe to roost.
I've not really seen such a large number of starlings since I was a kid and they were more common. I sometimes take a moment to stop and watch them, don't know what the passing motorists think of a solitary bloke standing and staring at the sky - they probably haven't seen the birds swooping overhead!
If it's your neck of the woods, they gather at the rear of the Patchway Rolls-Royce factory.
