I was planning on seeing one of the large starling roosts this winter, Oxford or the Somerset Levels seemed closest, but the traveling with only a chance of witnessing a good display would have probably meant I'd never got off my backside until it was too late.
Imagine my surprise that I discovered one only a few miles away near the centre of Swindon, that well known ornithological hotspot.|=o| I think it is a pretty decent display although perhaps not up to the real big ones.
Anyway here are a few pics, and if anyone wants to know a good viewing position let me know.
