Hi Mike
Not getting much attention, but don't despair !
I like it. You have to wait a while to get in the club
Good daily paper shot I reckon
Cheers

Despite that glorious sunset, I have to say that I think you have posted stronger images in this series, Mike. For me the joy of the series has been those wheeling flocks, which this shot simply does not have.

Although the dramatic 'wheeling' images are more striking Mike this picture actually relates more to my own experience with these birds. We have a huge roost near to home but rarely do you get the displays I'd like to see as the roost is a large piece of conifer forestry and the birds tend to dive straight in. However if you stand outside the wood you get what you see here, waves and waves of thousands of birds pouring in. Very dramatic to be under but less impressive on the camera.
All the best
Robert.
