Over the last week or so my girlfriend and I have observed large numbers of
Starlings (a few thousand?) coming in to roost in a row of pine trees between
the North Road Clinic and rope maze in Aberystwyth. I thought perhaps this was
just a pre-roost gathering but they definitely stay after dark and we watched
separate smaller flocks coming in to join them as it got dark. Is this roost
known? Is it a new roost or has there always been this secondary roost? Perhaps
the traditional Pier roost is being abandoned for some reason, possibly the
recent high winds? I've not yet been down to the front to see what the Pier
roost is doing. Thoughts and ideas welcome!
