Brighton- Starling Murmuration

Brighton - A flock of starlings is called a murmuration. This sociality is particularly evident in their roosting behaviour; in the non-breeding season some roosts can number in the thousands of birds -they roost under the pier and swirl in groups about for half an hour or more just before sunset
