Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. 9th March, 2016. UK weather: As the sun sets, flocks of thousands of tiny starlings fly in huge ‘murmurations’ over Aberystwyth and the seaside pier jutting out into Cardigan Bay on the west wales coast. Known in Welsh as ‘adar yr era’ or ‘snow birds’ they are on the RSPB’s endangered ‘red’ list, and roost every evening from October to March on the cast iron legs of the victorian-era pier, one of only a handful of urban roosts in the UK Credit: keith morris/Alamy Live News
