The incredible flocks of starlings swooping over the remains of Brighton’s West Pier have been a growing attraction for visitors to the city for some years.
Now, the RSPB has built a mobile viewing platform to allow birdwatchers to get a closer look at their airbourne acrobatics, known as murmuration.

Chris Woolner, RSPB South East project officer, said: “Brighton is famous for this amazing spectacle of nature and people come from miles to watch.
“It really is a mesmerising experience and when you stand on the pier as the flock sweeps towards and around you fell like you are part of it.”
