Starling perched on wall

The Starling Spectacle

Although the ABB event only started a few days ago, we have already noticed an increase in the number of starlings coming to the roosts on Brighton Pier and West Pier. On Saturday one of the local peregrines was perched on top of the remains of the West Pier, apparently waiting to pick one off. The starlings did not seem too put out, and dived straight under the girders, leaving one very confused peregrine peering down to see where they were. We can't guarantee this happening too often, but with starling numbers increasing we should enjoy watching their spectacular displays.
