Yes! @gloswildlife.bsky.social I was driving from S Cerney on A417 just now and before Cricklade at 7.05am thousands and thousands of #starlings were flying over east to west as I drove about half a mile! AMAZING! 🤩 Never seen that in my whole birdwatching life!!! Such a spectacle! 🤓
Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight shines on the Starling!
Forget fireworks...Autumn’s skies come alive with magnificent murmurations: vast, swirling clouds of Starlings dancing at dusk.
One of nature's greatest spectacles. 😍

No! Appalling. Why does our government not care about the environment? We are all part of nature and as humans we keep destroying it - morally wrong and practically will negatively impact us too down the line. Protect it! And that means our Swifts too.
Breaking news!The government has just voted against the same swift brick amendment they voted for 2 years ago. We can only save our swifts if we all act. Email your MP. Ask them to sign edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... MEET your MP. Tell them how much this matters or we’ll lose them
