At last, for the first time in either of our lives, a friend and I saw the Starling murmuration at Attenborough Nature Reserve this evening. I soon gave up trying to take photos and just stood and stared, enjoying the sight! 

We were lucky enough to see a bird of prey swoop into the mass of birds, sending them into a panic. Then a small group dropped down to the reeds and we could clearly see the Sparrowhawk, if that's what it was, flying along against the dark of the trees. We couldn't tell if he was successful or not, but I hope so.
