Hello there, it's all a bit late this eve re the blog but there is a very good reason! I stayed late to watch the starlings and what a lovely show they put on too. They started to gather a few pylons away either side of Old Moor before gathering as one, filling the sky and flying. They flew for about an hour before diving down into the reeds to the left of the reedbed screen, just as they did last year.
Here's a photo of them flying over the pylon near the reedbed screen.
And a video of them making shapes when it was almost dark.
As it's late, here are a couple of photos of the book today.
Other Dearne Valley sightings from today can be seen via the Twitter feed of the Barnsley Birders (@Barnsleybsg). And a weasel was seen in the playground area.
