Something a little different from me with a picture of one of nature’s spectacles a starling murmuration. These can be seen around sunset time at this time of year when thousands of starlings all come together and perform a wonderful display of shapes for a few minutes before a sudden drop into the reeds where they roost for the night. It’s a fantastic thing to experience and capturing it with a single image can’t really convey the atmosphere or the sound they make, this was taken above Stoney Middleton while standing in a boggy field.
