Flocks

When we were about to leave our house just after 4 in the afternoon a few days ago, this big flock of birds were flying high above us. We only managed to recognise them as herons or egrets but were not sure exactly what.

Grey Starlings (Mukudoriムクドリ) had started building up their number before they went into their roosting places around Chiba Parco. Those Grey Starlings don't murmurate like their cousins in Europe but the number and noise was astonishing.
