Starling Murmuration

This is the first time I have seen this - a truly amazing sight. Not a good photograph as it was getting dark, but it was mesmerising to watch!

I have seen this phenomenon but never got to photograph it. Well done!!

Superb sight, so hard to focus on too:)

@365anne thank you. It wasn’t what I planned to photograph so wasn’t sure of the settings to use.

[Catherine]

@fbailey thank you. I was completely alone and it was wonderful to watch.

[Catherine]

@quietpurplehaze certainly was - especially when they flew directly overhead and all I could hear was their wings!

[Catherine]

@paul10 it really is! Quite magical and wen on for some time.

Great capture. The starlings almost look in the shape of a ? mark. I know that they are in motion and fluid in design but that's what I see. Fav.

A very cool capture! I saw this the other day but I was stuck in traffic so no photo opportunity! The birds did put on quite a show!

Timing was great on this!
