» Pier starlings
The RSPB has appealed for artistic impressions of starlings flocking round the pier.
Every year thousands of starlings take part in the aerial dance known as murmuration. At its peak in December, the flock has 40,000 birds. Images, comments, drawings, poems and songs about the phenomonen will be exhibited on Palace Pier.
TV vet and Latest Homes columnist Marc Abraham said: “Brighton is amazingly lucky to have these sunset shows. I like to think of them as a Starling Come Dancing. Anyone who has seen the murmuration will know what I mean – there’s plenty of jiving, twisting, gliding, turning and shaking of tail feathers.”
