Noticing quite significant numbers of starlings at the moment in Leigh during the daytime. They are often visible as individuals or 2's and 3's on lamposts, in groups of 10-20 in berry trees around Tesco and the Arches car park, and then sometimes coalescing in the air into flocks up to about 200.
Great to see this - I've not noticed this happening in the past couple of years anyway.
Maybe just getting more observant, or maybe local numbers are increasing - that would be great.
