The Starling Watcher.

[John2]

Starlings go to roost under Blackpool North Pier every evening.

Works for me John.

I also like the photo. Lots to look at and let the imagination wander.

Atmospheric. A restful picture and almost complete solitude with only one person, without the figure it would not be as good as it is.. I really do like the tones.

They nest under the pier? How do they manage when it is high water with a westerly storm force gale?

 

[John2]

Thanks Bandy, thanks john.

I'm not sure they nest so much as just perch on the structure overnight John. It's a good question though, I can't see them bringing up young that way. Anyone know?

A superb mood capture. Well done.

 

[John2]

Thank you Hans.

Thanks Glenn as well. Missed yours.
