Thanks folks
the "spotty" M8 with Zeiss ZM 28mm f2.8 - cropped to 16 x 9 and PP in LR and Nik - trying to get a "film" look
I managed to jump out of the car and take a few quick shots at f8 and infinity - I could not get a close up shot, they were too fast - I only had the 28mm (35mm) lens and they were just too far away - (It's a time when my cropped D300 with a 300mm tele lens would have been handy)
Although we were the only car around they seemed to know and move away quite fast - although I cannot imagine that we bothered them in anyway
I do not think that they were Starllngs - they did not "mass" group or fly like Starlings - about the size of a Thrush, (maybe a Fieldfare? - do they migrate?), also more of a brownish black not the colour of Starlings - also a more softer shape and their call was not particularly loud - they were not noisy birds
