Starling Roost Bettystown Ireland

Last Tuesday while returning from work I made my way home via Bettystown in County Meath Ireland in the hope of photographing the amazing Starling roost that gathers each year in Bettystown.

Each evening as the sun goes down these birds gather in their tens of thousands and perform intricate manoeuvres in the evening sky before settling down for the night. It is an amazing spectacle to witness, and the noise is deafening.

Included in this posting are some images of the spectacle.
