Hello and Good Morning!
Firstly a HUGE thanks has to go to the BBC Springwatch team for linking our website, twitter and Facebook on their website during Winterwatch 2017.
Since Monday when the programme featured Starling Murmurations at Shell Bay in Dorset we have been inundated with huge amounts of new information about Starlings and their roost sites.
Twitter went crazy and we have a backlog of tweets to go through but thank you to those who contacted us.
We have also received quite a few new locations via the website 'submit information' tab and also via our email address too.
Our Facebook Group has seen an increase of nearly 500 members too which is awesome with new information coming from those members as well.
We hope to get on top of all this extra activity over the next couple of days and have everything up to date, including the Murmuration map.
Another idea has come to mind that once the Starling season is over, we shall rework the website and map with links from the Map locations. Each location will link to its own section within the website and will (Hopefully) feature photos and may be videos from that actual site and this will hopefully give people more of an idea of the size of the roost.
So, that is our summer sorted then!!
Again, HUGE thank you to you all for your information and input!!
