Went to see the starling murmuration near Foolow in the Peaks on Xmas Eve. No big display just groups flying over and dropping in but there were a lot.
Bit of excitement as a bird of prey was swooping around. Maybe a peregrine but I didn't have any binoculars and it was getting dark.
Oh interesting, where did you go? When we moved up here we heard the starling murmurations were great, but 2 years ago went up to the marsh just north of the British Flurospar quarry and saw absolute diddly squat around Christmas time
