Blackpool, Lancashire. 1st Feb, 2019. The last waltz before bed, a swarm of tens of thousands of starlings roosting under Blackpools Victorian north pier. These amazing birds put on a stunning flight display at one of only a handful of their favourite sites throughout the UK. On windy days, the huge flocks of mumurating starlings whose numbers are estimated at 60,000 plus take to resting momentarily on the beach at low tide. Credit: MediaWorld Images/Alamy Live News
