News just in from Beach Hut volunteer Dave Roberts of 15,000 starlings in the roost tonight! This is already higher than our peak count from last winter and it's only the beginning of November. It's well worth coming to see this spectacle - arrive from about 15.30 and watch from the southern edge of the Cromwell Trail to the south over Phase 2. Do bear in mind though they do sometimes change their roost location, so may be on Phase 1.
Our peak count from two years ago was a whopping 40,000 - perhaps we can beat that this year!?
