Rosy Starlings at Central Park, Jaipur

During an evening walk at Central Park, I encountered a large group of migratory Rosy Starlings near the Rambagh Polo Ground. It was a delight to see them fly in groups and prepare, with constant murmur, to roost for the night on a nearby leafless tree, where in silhouette they looked like flowers!
