I've only just caught up with the postings on starlings. For the record, we have successive flocks of starlings flying over and just north of the house mainly from the north-west (Letterston) direction and heading down to Farthings Hook, with a few stopping off to visit our bird feeders. Today, the fly past started just before 8.00a.m. ending about 45 minutes later, with the main concentrations between 8.15 and 8.30.
