The reason Starlings are my favourite bird
Isn't this magnificent? This is a flock near Rome, but there is a flock near Gretna that puts on a show that is just as magnificent. I haven't been able to film it yet, but I wanted you to see how wonderful they are!
I don't think I have ever seen this type flocking before personaly but have seen a couple of videos similar to yours of Starlings. Here is a link to a very interesting video about Starlings flocking on a couple of Cedar trees taken here in the US.
Those are birds? That's amazing! I've never seen anything like that. I would have ran out of fear that it was bees. Killer ones if my imagination got away with me.
Wow...quite an air show. It is an amazing show when they are flocking like that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Alan. I never noticed them when I lived in the US. Do American starlings do the same?
ReplyDeleteamazing show. Thanksh
