Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. 30th January 2019. Starling Murmuration. The last waltz before bed for the thousands of starlings as they perform their acrobatic flying skills before roosting for the night under Blackpool's 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 north pier provides perfect shelter for the many thousands of birds each night. Credit: Cernan Elias/Alamy Live News
