About Starling Murmurations
Experience one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles as thousands of starlings gather on the Somerset Levels during the winter months. From November to March, these mesmerising flocks roost in the reed beds at Shapwick Heath and Ham Wall RSPB nature reserves. At dusk, they perform stunning aerial displays, swirling in unison against the evening sky. For an equally magical experience, visit at sunrise to watch them take flight. To make the most of your visit, check the starling hotline for the latest updates on their roosting locations. This unforgettable event is a must-see for nature lovers and photographers alike.
