'CHATTERBOX' BIRDS GATHER ON CLEETHORPES SEAFRONT TO SHARE LATEST GOSSIP

 

Are these the noisiest birds in town? A favourite congregation point for starlings is on the Big Wheel north of the pier in Cleethorpes. There, they whistle and chirp as part of a  cheerful ritual which has become a longstanding feature of seafront life. The birds, many of them juveniles, are thought to have flown here from as far away as Russia for our  milder weather and longer daylight hours which allow them more time to feed - and chatter.
