Starlings Wave "soaring with the sun"

[Voyageur]

For those who enjoy our avian friends, here is an amazing , super short film called the 'Starlings on Otmoor'. The Otmoor, human tampered with and then refined habitat area is discussed, including a reference to Lewis Carols, Chess Board, 'Through the Looking Glass'.

The starlings are an astonishing thing to see - Near Oxford - England. This was filmed at an RSPB reserve called Otmoor. It is the most remarkable thing I have ever seen - and as a video camerman I have seen some pretty amazing things.

Wow, Voyageur, they are simply an amazing sight to behold. I love the way the flock, being so dense with birds, continues to morph into different configurations as they move. They're so fluid, it's almost psychedelic. Defintely poetry in motion.

Thanks for sharing,
Gonzo

That really IS amazing, isn't it? No matter how many times I see such footage, I'm still amazed. This was one of the best I've seen.

Some more spectacular film footage of starlings - this time 5 million of them over Rome trying to avoid a peregrine falcon.
Watch how the evening sun reflects off their iridescent breasts. Stupendous.

This is magnificent. Gives energy and joy to see this sort of miracle.

Wow, great clip showing Starlings survival instincts with their avoidance in numbers from the predator Falcon.
