Starling Murmuration, Blackpool, Lancashire. 23rd Feb 2018. An amazing acrobatic display by the tens of thousands of Starlings looking to roost for the evening under the iron stanchions of Blackpool's famous north pier. With the temperatures plummeting as night falls, the masses of starlings grow in numbers every day. One of only a handful of murmuration sites in the UK, the pier provides perfect shelter for the many thousands of birds each night. Credit: Cernan Elias/Alamy Live News
