Aberystwyth Starling murmuration

Having dealt with the first trip of the weekend, I'll now deal with the last. The Starling murmuration at Aberystwyth pier, this is the second winter that I have visited the pier and it never fails to impress. After spending the morning in Snowdonia, we travelled down to the seaside town in mid Wales in plenty of time for the flocks to arrive. Half of the promenade was shut, having been covered up by the sand from the beach, all along the sea front windows to B and B's where boarded up, having their windows smashed by the recent fierce storms. With the gale force winds and high tide the day before we did wonder if the starling's would arrive, we needn't have worried and was treated to a wonderful show. As the starling's finally came into roost I used the long lens and slow shutter speed to try and isolate individual birds and show movement during the hustle and bustle of them trying to find their perch.
