Every morning has been different this week and this morning looked very duff at dawn with cloud spilling in from the west. However, it soon became apparent that small flocks of Starlings were bombing SW - a route which is not ex-local-roost. Indeed they were crossing over local ex-roost birds heading east from the harbour.
