I went over on saturday to Otmoor as I'd heard the murmurations will still going on (they're usually all over by December/early Jan). Saturday was a bit of a disappointment. They just arrived in medium sized flocks and shot straight down in to the reeds, but I took a chance and went back again tonight. Success!

It's amazing how so may thousands of birds can just drop from the sky and disappear in the reeds in a matter of seconds. |
