Dusky West Pier



Murmuration over the West Pier and an in-camera panorama from the sun going down to West Pier




In mid-February we went back to the Doughnut Groyne, between the Palace and West Piers to see the murmuration of the starlings again. This time they were rather further away from our vantage point but we still managed to capture something.









As the i360 descended we caught a view of starlings gathering for their murmuration.



The murmuration had not begun but the starlings were gathering (as were the gulls).



Walking home along the beach on a wintery afternoon a week ago.

The last of the dusk’s murmuration before the starlings all dove beneath the pier to roost.



A must see in Brighton is the starling murmurations, occurring at dusk between about November and February. We photographed them in mid-December (and may go back this month as their numbers increase with incoming Scandinavian birds).









Nothing special… just a lovely dusky sky.



After the solstice sun had set we walked back in the gloaming and saw the piers in the dusk-blue distance.











It’s famous!
