Starlings over Pembroke

From Phil Baber and Pam Buckle who have just moved from Ceredigion to Pembroke - Welcome!

A couple of people have posted that they've been seeing pre-roost flocks of Starling heading south of Pembroke near dusk.
Since we've been here we've had a good flow of large flocks heading south every evening. They all seem to be  heading on a bearing which would see them reaching Elegug Stacks if they hit the coast. So, it can be considered they are heading for Castle Martin Ranges or some place before then. All flocks streaming on the same bearing and cresting the hill where we are. It's more evident when the weather is poor and dismal.
