Hi Mr Grumpy, Neil B is totally right, when the birds fly at lower levels, the sound of thousands of bird wings and air/friction noise makes an incredible sound. It is more than a murmur, more of a roar at this "Murmuration" here in Rutland and there are many many witnesses to this sound over...

Thanks, yes they are amazing and they were at it again last night. I'm surprised they have not left yet for their migration but all the better for us" Thanks Stephen, if you go on Facebook and type in Starling Murmuration Information UK, they have a map of where Starling Murmurations are occuring!

I have been going every evening over the past seven days to watch and photograph the starling murmurations at Barnsdale Hill on the edge of Rutland Water in Rutland.

Here a few from yesterday evening's starling murmuration. I hope these photo's do it justice as it was just a pleasure to witness one of natures great spectacles. At one stage, myself and another photographer had the birds flying at ground level behind us, only a few feet away.

You could also try "The Great Tower" at Sykes Lane on Rutland Water. It's a modern sculpture down at the waters edge, i am not sure what the light pollution is like though and the walk to it is approx 5 minutes from the A606 near Empingham. Also the area below Barnsdale Country Club is easily...

I live in Rutland but i am originally from north Lincolnshire.....Here in Rutland, as said, there is Rutland Water, but also Eyebrook Reservoir near Uppingham, the Welland Valley including the viaduct and the River Chater valley. There are lots of photo opportunities if you you are prepared to...
