They've definitely not completely gone! I live in the UK (in the Surrey hills), and see ~30-40 starlings just in my garden multiple times a day every day, since the babies fledged a couple of weeks ago. They make an almighty racket squabbling over the food in our bird feeding stations. Even when I lived in outer SW London we'd get them regularly, up to 20 at a time. And I know that down Portsmouth/Southsea way there are so many starlings they're considered a pest by some.
