I wonder if they are part of the migratory species and arriving early. It seems unusual for starlings to flock together unless they are going to roost. It seems rather ominous either way.

They are always about OP. They were drying off. They must have been bathing somewhere nearby and sat on the roof preening in the sun. |

Thank you Starlingqueen. We don't see that many starlings round here. I have only seen the solitary one flitting about the Supermarket car park picking up the squashed food that people have dropped. There is never more than three at a time. I must comment on how fast they are when running on the ground, they are not afraid of running straight in front of ones feet.  |

That's a LOT of birds! We get gulls and ravens, what a row they make walking across the roof! (our loft is not very deep) Well they aren't an endangered species it seems which could be good as there are so many that are  |
