Pear-fect starlings

January 19, 2019

Starlings. I love them. They are beautiful, characterful little birds in their own right, but when they join together to create their winter murmurations, they are truly stunning. I have been very lucky to regularly watch a murmuration at my local reedbeds, but over the past few weeks they’ve moved south and are now gathering over Walberwick and Dunwich. This lovely little group formed an almost perfect pear-shape this evening. If you haven’t had chance to watch a murmuration yet, I urge you to. It’s magical.

The skies have been pretty epic over East Anglia today. Lunchtime walk...
Lovely beach walk for today’s #30DaysWild. Amazing skies, deliciously edible-looking anemones, and limpets & barnacles...
The simple beauty of a cloud reflected in a raindrop 💚
Starlings gathering quietly at the end of the day. No great chattering, unlike in the winter months when they appear to have lots to say. Love them.
Wonder-maker, path-taker, perspective-giver. My reflections on nature and my favourite place to be lost in 💚
Love this little cobble-strewn lane.
It’s #InternationalDawnChorus day, and as well as the gift of avian voices, I was treated to a beautiful sunrise burning colour into the reeds.
Turner skies over the estuary.
Happy #earthday2020
There’s so much beauty and wonder to celebrate, cherish and protect. My local patch...
When everything seems crazy, create your own little island of calm. This morning on the estuary. #lovenature 💚
