Another plea for help........

We've just received this message via a University mailing list, and thought that someone who follows "Ceredigion Birds" blog might be interested in helping, especially given all the recent discussion about Starlings on the blog.

We are looking for a garden which regularly entertains Starlings as part of next Thursday's Autumn watch in Aberystwyth. The whole programme will focus on the adaptability (and increasing plight) of the starling and show all aspects of their autumnal life.

As such we are looking for a moderate sized garden where we could put in a hide and has multiple feeders (we hope to film over the weekend and possibly Monday too - it would not be on all these days though). We are also looking for locations where the starlings which roost on the pier spend their days.

If anyone might have info on such locations, we would love to hear from them.

Kindest regards,
Nick
