Starling Roost
Starlings can roost in cities, there used to be a large roost in Birmingham, also they can roost on sea side piers, but Reedbeds are used widely, partuculary by continental Starlings coming in to the East coast of Britain in October.

Hi Matthew
Not too far away in Shropshire last Feb/Mar up to 20,000 were regularly seen nightly in the Meole Village area of Shrewsbury. Residents had to cover their cars each evening. I witnessed one of birdings greatest sights in a built up area. Well worth the journey from Bilston W Mids.
Google Shrewsbury Starlings for more info and pics.
Cheers Hughie.

An impressive Starling roost now taking place daily at Belvide viewable from the first hide. See Steve Nuttall's blog for details.
Pretty impressive stuff!

Had two massive flocks totalling c9,000 birds in the east Cheshire hills yesterday. Most i've seen away from a roosting site.
