Where'd they go?

We met up with Sarah this afternoon at Fairburn Ings in the hope of seeing the starling murmuration again.  Rich hadn't seen them and Sarah hadn't been so close.  Well, we were even further away this time!  They'd up sticks and moved into the distant trees and a lot less of them too.  We did enjoy watching them but weren't lucky enough to have them landing in these reeds like they did last time.  

We did find the kingfisher back on its perch, spot a green woodpecker and enjoy a fine and bitterly cold walk around the reserve whilst watching a beautiful sunset and moonrise.  

Sometimes, you just can't have it all!
