It could be fine inside but the rear is pretty grim. Thanks.<br /><br />John, as you said it's only 76.2miles. Car park to the viewing point is a hundred yards. The last two nights they come about 15mins before civil sunset and drop about 15mins after. You can see them for free which is a bonus. To get good patterns there has to be a couple of raptors giving them grief so if you know a hawkist then bring him along.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-34499023358517734332012-01-14T09:57:27.112+00:002012-01-14T09:57:27.112+00:00I have never seen the Starlings going to roost - I...I have never seen the Starlings going to roost - I'd love to.
