Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. 14th January, 2016. A huge flock of starlings perform spectacular displays in the air above the roofteops of Aberystwyth pier at the end of a day of bitingly cold winds Each evening between October and March tens of thousands of the birds fly in huge ‘murmurations; in the sky above the town before settling to roost for the night on the cast iron legs of the Victorian seaside pier. Aberystwyth is one of only a handful of urban starling roosts in the UK. Credit: keith morris/Alamy Live News
