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

That's the place. We went there xmas 2019 too and saw nothing much but it was OK this time.
I think you mean just south of the quarry though - we parked on Thunderpit Lane and then went through the gate on the south side of the road.
