It's the start of the season for these utterly amazing displays :

And this year there's a website to report sightings :

Live not far from Brighton and often have flocks of starlings gathering here before taking off for the night. Not yet though.

We had murmurations last year for the first time....but the roosting trees have been chopped for houses.....

With luck the starlings will move to this side of town this year......☺

Here they gather on rooftops before flocking.

Can I report the Owl that was sat hooting on my windowsill at 4am this morning?

They have been gathering on the spire of our local church this past week battlement type spire.

Well you could, Mamya. Doubt if the cops would want to know though ;-)

Thanks for the murmuration survey link, sunny-dave.

I attempted to input one which I captured on video but that was 2011 and it only accepts 2014/2015 in the year column.
