Starling spectacular

Photograph of the West Pier silhouetted against a sunset, there is a large group of starlings creating murmurations to the left of the image

Most winter evenings before dusk hundreds of thousands of starlings return from across the Sussex countryside, including the downs around Brighton & Hove, to roost on the Brighton piers. The spectacular "murmurations" can be viewed anywhere along the seafront between the piers or on the Palace Pier itself where on a calm evening you can even hear the flutter of their wings as they swoop in underneath to roost.
