Watching a Starling Murmuration in Flight Is Simply Magical….
A flock of starlings is called a murmuration. These flocks may include other species of starlings and sometimes species from other families. This sociality is particularly evident in the their roosting behaviour; in the non-breeding season some roosts can number in the thousands of birds. They will travel many miles to get to their food, and all stay together for the warmth and safety of a large groups. Their movements are so precise, so coordinated, that the group of thousands seems like a single entity, moving this way and that. It’s a sight to see for all nature lovers, and one of the many miracles of life.
At dusk on a winter evening in southern England a flock of 200,000 European starlings congregate to soar in breathtaking formations before roosting for the night. These incredible displays of aerial precision and biological engineering are captured in this memorable sequence from FLIGHT: THE GENIUS OF BIRDS.
