Inexplicably and for the first time, a large murmuration of starlings came to roost in our parish. The numbers grew, and it became my evening habit to walk down the lane to watch them. Gradually neighbours and friends from nearby came to watch too as the flocks merged from all directions and flew in wide circuits. Sometimes a sparrowhawk appeared and then they all bunched up into the spectacular displays 'as seen on tv'. I spent a lot of time wondering how I was going to create a picture of them.
