Hard to get an accurate number. Nice murmuration, mostly over the flood but periodically over the Jubilee River with groups breaking off and flying off in all directions, not sure if they returned to the main group, which seemed to have similar numbers when I left as to when I arrived. Harried at one point by a Kestrel.

Huge flock descended into my garden with 50+ crammed on my bird table gorging themselves on suet pellets, the rest on lawn and in trees. Most, if not all, were juveniles. Who says there's a shortage?

My garden. For weeks we have had 40-50 Starlings, mostly juveniles, visiting our garden feeders but I was convinced they weren't always the same birds; today at least 50 were in the garden with another 70+ perched in a tall oak. Are we witnessing a reversal in the declining numbers of this species?

About 100 roosting in neighbour's bamboo bush. No sign of them in our gardens during daytime, and generally they are scarce visitors to the garden in ones and twos, though I was surprised to see a flock of c20 100 yards away recently.

On lawn and garden feeders; seems they have had a very good start to their breeding season locally as the majority were juveniles (23 juv, 8 ad).
