MURMURATION

I must have watched this a dozen times, and still it makes my heart sing.


Murmuration from Sophie Windsor Clive on Vimeo.
A chance encounter and shared moment with one of natures greatest and most fleeting phenomena.

"murmuration."'... is used to describe vast numbers of starlings as they whirl through the air like billowing clouds of black, biological smoke.

Update: More images of the phenomenon by Richard Barnes, taken in 2006.
