Hi Phil, I am sure Martin knows more than me about where best to see the Starlings as he is on site. There are two ways, I always obtain a permit to stay in the reserve after hours, I am not certain that these are still available but I am sure Maties can tell us. I just went to the information centre with my passport and it was free. Failing this, great views can be obtained from the platform at the depuradora where the show is still spectacular. It may not be the best place but it never fails to enthrall. There are differing estimates as to how many birds are present but in a good year there may be up to, or even more than, one million birds. Good luck, I hope you get good views. Watch out for the odd Merlin and Peregrine in with the flock. Mike
