- BY STEPHEN HAYWARD

THOUSANDS of starlings create mesmerisin­g patterns in the sky before roosting under Aberystwyt­h pier in west Wales last night.

Theyhave returned from summer in Scandinavi­a and may need tostay even closer for warmth as blasts of Arcticair send temperatur­es plunging across Britain.

They could go as low as minus 4C in Scotland tonight – colder than Iceland.

Widespread frost is expected and gales of up to 50mph are feared in the North of England today.

Bookmaker Coral said: “Odds of 10-11 suggest we will see snow in mainland UK before the month is out.”
