Did anyone else watch the spectacle as the starlings got ready to roost on Eastbourne pier on Sunday?
It was a wonderful site as the black cloud of starlings created various impressive shapes in the sky. Just as they seemed to be about to settle a large bird dived into the cloud and caused some brilliant synchronised flying. The bird then appeared to be flying away before returning and diving into the cloud and flying off to the North. I didn't get a close look and couldn't tell if it had caught a starling because it was about 2-300 yards away. I wondered if anyone else had seen this and could identify the bird?
