This was recorded in Israel most recently.

And this one was caught on video in Ireland a couple of weeks ago.



It's a beautiful thing to be able to witness nature of which can still amaze us.

The reason why these starlings group in this manner is to make it harder for predatory birds to catch them and also to exchange information with one another regarding food.




We used to see this here, many years ago, but with increasing rarity these days sadly.
