Your murmuration is beautiful … my moments of the year are mostly connected with the privilege of witnessing little humans growing and learning and saying things like - when his mother told her two-and-half-year-old son that another baby was in the way: ‘You have to be careful.’ And another two-and-a-half-year-old copying a video about dedication and hard work with SUCH dedication in his actions and physical movements that I wondered how soon he’d find himself a stage! And more … including my other half’s three-year-old granddaughter saying that he and I are her friends … 💕
We don’t have starlings where I grew up. Our tiny first flat in Scotland overlooked the city spires and I would stand in the window just staring at this banner of birds making waves across the skyline in 3D. It was unlike anything I had ever seen and your writing reminded me of that sense of wonder.
Wow so magic and mind-blowing, thank you for sharing the experience and video with us. I am so happy you witnessed this, you describe it so beautifully. I can’t pick out one moment of awe and wonder but I often feel both when I step foot in our local ancient woodland xx
Such an amazing thing to see Janelle. That's interresting how each bird tracks 7 other birds within the murmuration. I have never seen something like this on that scale. Thanks for sharing.

I'm delighted to share the beauty. If I could have I would have invited everyone along! I'm wishing you more awe in 2025 and beyond, Lyndsay

It was! Just wow. Yeah I thought that was fascinating. Blows my mind that they do this!
Love “cascading, whirling, forming”! When I watched a murmuration it reminded me of a baker stretching and gathering a sticky dough.
Niice! What an image
Aw glad to share the beauty! I'm still so happy I got to see this
