A very poor performance from our starlings tonight with only 500 birds roosting in North Marsh. We'll let you know if they return, or if we find out where they've moved to #murmuration @UkStarlings

We have about 4000 starlings at the moment. Not huge numbers but impressive when the peregrine and sparrowhawk attack. We're not aware of any bigger flocks locally

Despite the dull weather, four species of tits are very active around the visitor centre - great, marsh, blue and coal - to keep visitors entertained before they brave a damp walk around the reserve (photos by Ian Barthorpe) pic.twitter.com/VMvaAOgB9I

We have about 4000 starlings at the moment - you need to be here by 3.30 pm to watch them. Numbers and locations vary throughout the winter, so try to visit as soon as you know they're here - and keeping checking our pages for the latest information
