Starlings

This evening a very large flock of starlings came into roost in the reed bed, easily over 2000. The photo is just of a portion of the whole flock, I didn’t have a wide angled lens with me, so couldn’t fit them all in. A Sparrowhawk was seen to harass them as they gathered on the pylons and I saw it catch one in mid flight. A Sparrowhawk was also seen patrolling above the reed bed after the Starlings had settled.
