Information on flightlines of starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) to and from roosts is summarised, and a map shows sites and areas served by roosts in the Wellington area. Four offshore islands in the area are used as roosts. In midwinter birds may spend 16 hours nightly in roosts. One roost has remained in use since at least 1913, and others have shifted or been used intermittently. The number of starlings flying to the major roosts in the region has fallen during the 1970s.
