Thanks Derek but not sure about Starlings as I saw a really plain white under belly on one flying really low but what I cannot be sure is did the white extend to its neck or down to flank as just recall this white belly. Dont laugh but I am just back from Brussels visiting my second daughter teaching there and saw similar birds flying there. I had just come out of the War museum under the famous Arch in the main avenue waiting on my daughter to finish up her school day as meeting there when I noticed darkish birds gliding and flying low similarly around the Arch.
I got an even better glimpse of one flying very low and it was totally white underneath and dark on upper side ie black on top and all white underneath. They also had slightly arched wings like the birds in flock here reminding me of bats wings. I have looked at Terns only as wings bit similar to the huge gulls or Terns about here constantly. I must look in my Europe and Britain bird book later if do not fall asleep after travelling but more likely something simple overlooking. Anyway I saw about five gorgeous long tailed Tits in park at Arch and one Dunnock in flat garden being well eyed up by her cat Chester but the stuffed birds in the African museum in Tervueren were out of this world. Actually think it might be lots of House Martins about here still as of their fluttering wings whilst flying.
