UK weather: Starlings at dusk in Aberystwyth Wales
Download© Licensed to London News Pictures. 19/11/2017. Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. A grey and overcast November evening in Aberystwyth, birdwatchers of all ages gather to watch in awe as thousands of starlings swoop in fantastic ‘murmurations’ in the sky above the town, before descending to settle in chattering masses on the legs of the town’s Victorian era seaside pier. The birds then huddle together for warmth and safety on the girders and beams under the floors of the pier. The nightly displays draw crowds of viewers and photographers from far and wide, but the birds are deeply unpopular with the local farming communities, who see them as pests which eat valuable animal feed and foul the livestock’s barns and drinking water .Photo credit: Keith Morris/LNP
