The main track and bridge through the reserve at Ham wall are now open again as the Environment Agencies contractors have completed the current work (they may be back in the near future however). For the moment it's business as usual and a break from having to walk down the muddy diversionary footpath.
It means slightly cleaner boots for all for a while at least. The Starlings are currently roosting in front of the 2nd platform on the reserve so a nice walk along the main track will get you there.
Do check the Starling Hotline though in case they decide to have a change of scenery over the next few days:

Remember the mornings can be as good or in some opinions better than the evening with the huge numbers of birds leaving in waves. You'll have to brave things just before the sun comes up though but you could be rewarded with a wonderful sight and perhaps a lovely winter sunrise too:
