Hi All,

Here are three shots from Friday taken at the Ham Wall RSPB reserve in Somerset, UK. Each evening in the winter around 1 million starlings roost in the reed beds in this or neighbouring reserves. Prior to roosting great flocks of starlings swirl and wheel above the reserve making dynamic, organic, liquid shapes against the sky. This was my first visit, I can highly recommend a visit to any readers in the area.

No. 1:

No. 2:

C+C welcome as usual, I'm especially interested in advice from anyone who is experienced in shoorting starling roosts as I'm sure I'll be making another trip down there sometime this winter.

Thanks,
Paul.

The first looks like a tornado.

I really like the first two, great sky color those.
