Murmeration

Fascinating to watch the whilrs and shapes and swoops of hundreds of birds.


For a slightly less exciting, but hotter, photo pop over to TheDarkroom to see my take on the theme of ice.

Very nice to see.

And no one crashes into each other, fantastic sight.

Awesome capture!

[Lin]

Wow - cool capture

we used to see this over the sea from the Big rock you see in my photos, but apparently the starlings were poisoned to protect endangered skinks :(

[haskar]

Lovely shot.

[Granagringa]

Such a good shot and such good texture to set off the movement.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

such a great title to suit this!

[katy]

Not an easy shot to show the movement but you have succeeded brilliantly!

[Joan Robillard]

Amazing

[Liz Milne]

I see the shape of some sort of cat

[Shutterbug]

So many birds. Really a very nice capture. Love your fire and ice also.

These are so fascinating to watch, I'm always so curious as to how so many individuals can move together as one. Amazing

[ajisaac]

Fabulous - such a sight to behold.

[Valerie Chesney]

Great capture.....a wonderful thing to see.

[Denise Wood]

Fascinating :)

[Casablanca]

That's fantastic! Such a wonderful sight in nature. Amazing that they never seem to collide with each other. Love the shapes they make.

PS Finally sent you that email when you log on to it next! Terribly late news, but it's there anyway!

I often see murmurations of starlings in Ramsgate! Always such an extraordinary sight. You wonder how they coordinate so cleverly and artistically!

[Clare Gadsby]

Great capture. Love watching them swoop and swirl - simply mesmerising.
