Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. 14th March 2016. UK weather: As the sun sets, flocks of thousands of tiny starlings fly in huge spectacular ‘murmurations’ over Aberystwyth pier. An employee of the pier, in a yellow jacket, has the task of stopping them from landing on the tables and chairs The displays are becoming more impressive as the birds approach the time when they will leave for their summer grounds in Scandinavia and western Europe 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. © keith morr
