Starling update
The starlings have been doing very well this week with some fantastic displays, including some cameos from birds of prey. I'd recommend coming early if you're watching the murmurations, some days they have been starting a bit earlier than expected. Getting into position about 40 minutes before sunset should give you enough time. If you'd like to know where the starlings have been roosting recently, please go to the visitor centre where we'll be happy to point you in the right direction. We also have 20% off nest boxes in our shop, if you'd like to give a starling a home.

Please note that we take our recent sightings list from the visitor sightings board that anyone can contribute to. This is great as everyone can get involved, but can lead to potential errors too as they aren’t always verified! We try to keep this list as accurate as possible but if you see something unusual feel free to comment here!
