Eastbourne Pier / Sussex Eastbourne Pier is a seaside pleasure pier in Eastbourne, East Sussex, on the south coast of England. Work on the pier began on 16 April 1866 and it was opened by Lord Edward Cavendish on 13 June 1870, although it was not actually completed until two years later. On New Years Day 1877 the landward half was swept away in a storm. It was rebuilt at a higher level, creating a drop towards the end of the pier. The pier is effectively built on stilts that rest in cups on the sea-bed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather. It is roughly 300 metres (1000 ft) long. During World War II the decking was removed and machine guns were installed in the theatre providing a useful point from where to repel any attempted enemy landings. / text from Wikipedia Panasonic fz50

it seems that november is the time of year to watch one of nature’s amazing displays in eastbourne. thousands of starlings flock to the pier to roost for the night. before they go to bed they perform an amazing display of syncronized flying. this is all to do with warding off preditors such as sparrow -hawks. no danger of that in eastbourne. love seeing to display though.
