These trees are in the town centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK. It's very difficult to see but I tried to capture how many birds were roosting there. Got too cold in the end to hang around much longer :D

Interesting shots... that first shot looks like an oriental tapestry, beautiful design.

I think I have spoken to somebody else about these birds and their roosting habits. Nice shots.

These are incredible shots Anke. This takes 'safety in numbers' to a whole different level. It looks even more impressive when viewed in the enlarged version.
