A starling murmuration update

As we've had many requests for information about our starling murmuration, here's the latest news that we have.

As far as we know the dusk murmuration is still at Dingle Marshes and can seen distantly from Dunwich or Walberswick beach car parks. However, there a brief flurry or excitement on Wednesday evening when 5000 starlings headed low and fast over the car park, going towards Island Mere. We haven't had any subsequent reports of them gathering here yet, but perhaps this was the precursor to them returning. Here's hoping!

For the latest information on starlings, please see the RSPB Suffolk Facebook page or @RSPBMinsmere on Twitter.

If you know of any roosts elsewhere on the Suffolk coast, please let us know.

    It seems the starliings may be missing at the moment. Does anyone know where they are? The last positive report we had from Dunwich/Dingle Marshes was on 20 January, since when we've had no news from there. We've had reports that they may be roosting in the Leiston area, but we have no idea of numbers, or whether they're in an easily accessible area with parking.
    Any update would be much appreciated. Better still, if you find them, can you tell them to come back to Minsmere please.
