We spent a few days up on the Somerset Levels again this week, seem we picked the wrong few days weather wise as was very dull most of the time and when leaving yesterday the sun was shining and heard its a record temperature for the 1st November ? anyway we had a great few days there and although the photo side was not great we walked loads and watched the starling spectacular which was a first for us and John Crispin is such a great host on RSPB Ham Wall with his knowledge and friendliness, he told us on our first night we seen the tens of thousands of starlings performing and coming into roost that we needed to get up early and see what he called the morning explosion and boy he was right ! anyone not been to see them really need to, we will be going back through the winter as it was just something the TV does not do justice it was amazing ! anyway here are a few pics from the few days there shame I didn't get any real photos of the starlings in the sky it was just too dull but here are some pics I did take when there.
First up a coupe of Swans that seemed to be courting ?

A small cross section of the Starlings - it was this thick as they flew through for what seemed like over 10 minutes

This one made me chuckle I know they are only drying their wings but it looked like it was protecting the ducks
