Mydroilyn Starling Roost SN457520

Finally made it to the roost this afternoon, though I wasn't sure exactly where to head. Two forestry blocks, about a mile apart, both looked plausible, but after driving around for a while I parked at the above spot near Rhos Garn Whilgarn which proved to be correct as luck would have it. A couple got there just before me and we watched the action together, which lasted from about 4pm to 5pm. From where we stood we could see birds coming in from SW through S and W through to NW. ie you would imagine that we could see the approach of presumably about half the birds coming to roost. Which was a hell of a lot. Certainly tens of thousands. We guessed 100,000 and I can't imagine it was fewer than 50,000. If the same number were approaching from north and east then a whole lot more besides. 4 Buzzards, 2 Sparrowhawks and a Peregrine were in attendance. Highly recommended.
