OK, it’s a murmuration of sorts but not on the Somerset Levels. These starlings were created by local people and have settled on Bristol Downs on this wet morning.
They include some rather exotically coloured birds and have been created to highlight the decrease in starling numbers. Starlings and sparrows have never seemed to have been as common here in Bristol as they were in our Welling garden when growing up, but it seems quite rare to see them at all nowadays.
Now just have to make plans to go down to the Levels to see another murmuration.
