Observation details
Flocks were wheeling above woods along the coast, like a murmuration of starlings. Counted one flock of approximately 350 with another flock of at least 200 behind it. At the same time, a quick scan of treetops along the front edge of the woods with scope showed at least another 100 perched there. About 10 minutes later, when flocks were departing, one flock of at least 200 flew eastwards and another of approx. 500 flew westwards - see photos attached, taken with phone. Used this as the basis for a minimum count of 700. Total number could easily have been 1000 or more.
