murmuration

the starlings were getting ready to roost for the night and we caught their swirling display as we returned home from Leighton moss

[Hazel]

They certainly do swirl - and to find food too!

[Sam]

That's a lot of birds!

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shot

[Penelope Ann]

[carol white]

@quietpurplehaze the were low in the sky apparently because of the wind.
@gigiflower there are usually a lot more I was told
@graemestevens thank you
@pennystot it is fascinating
@carolmw thank you we were standing next to the tv camera man

[Margaret Obey]

Lucky you. I've been looking out for this phenomenon but no luck!

[Lesley Aldridge]

That's a great shot Linda, I love the tufts of grass and the mass of birds. It looks very bleak :(

[linda]

@countrylassie thanks Lesley, The grasses are the reed beds which bring them and other birds here
@ceilidh keep looking, it is well worth it
