Why do you no longer see...

I remember sitting up at the top of the South Stand (as it was then) and watching a flock of starlings do their thing for at least 15 minutes over Ferndale/Gorse Hill.  It was a dull game.

And that mullet bloke really looks like he's from Bristol.

There's a place like Otmoor in Norfolk, know the name of it Reg?

[Simon Pieman]

It's probably because you live in Slough Dave.

I never see chaffinches in my garden yet they used to be the most common bird in Britain.Starlings,however rule the roost.Must be a regional thing.

You might be thinking of the Breckland OF, excellent place for bird watching.

 Although it has changed in recent years it's still an unusual landscape. My forays there have been a bit limited due to its eastern aspect.

 On a few occasions I've been in the Arkells and watched the starlings wheeling over Buckhurst Field....also sometimes they roost on the floodlights. Buggers if you get them nesting in your roof mind.
