Shining Starlings Easter at Port Douglas

A flock of shining starlings wheels and turns above Macrossan Street in Port Douglas as evening descends and the street lights come on.  It is a continual shape changer, curling in on itself then spreading into loops and curves, ever diminishing in size until the entire flock has roosted in the trees in the centre of the street.

The flock seems to contain many juveniles and I wonder if they have recently fledged and are preparing for the annual northern migration or if they are permanent residents of the town
