Thousands of starlings create a murmuration against the setting sun at Brighton beach, East Sussex. Starlings create this spectacular event at dusk before settling down to roost for the evening.
Grouping together offers safety in numbers – predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands. They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas. They gather over their roosting site, and perform their wheeling stunts before they roost for the night.
Autumn roosts usually begin to form in November, though this varies from site to site and some can begin as early as September.
