Starling - 1980s winter

 

The BTO winter atlas showed that Starlings were present in most 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.

The darker the colour, the higher the relative total count for each 10km square.  The darkest blue represents over 2,061 birds seen in a day.

The largest numbers were recorded around damp pastures and at roosts.
