A lovely building. I've only seen murmurations on film. Maybe one day in the flesh so to speak.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Jean

Thank you very much Jean. It is amazing to actually see them, - its almost like a graceful dance.
I understand it happens in different areas so we were lucky to see them here. Have a good weekend

David G Johnson ^club

Good info'.. there Carol.. I have never yet seen a full murmuration.. it must be brilliant..like Jean adds.. 'only on film' .. ''HFF'' to you - keep well and good wishes too... from ..> David J'

4 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Thank you very much David. I love the way they move together and seem to swoop and flow in the air like a beautiful synchronised dance. It is funny because we used to have a few families of starlings visit our feeders and although beautiful they were the noisiest, messiest and most argumentative birds I have come across - yet to watch them here it is like poetry in motion. HFF and have a good week. Keep well.

What an amazing place and image, Carol. I had to look "murmuration" up as I've never heard or seen that word before. Cool! :)

The song is new to me too. I really like it. What a brilliant combination!

Wishing you a HFF and a good week ahead too. Take care and stay well. :)

Ecobird ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thank you very much Karen. I am really pleased you like it. Sadly I was too far away to get a good shot but it is winderful to see the starlings in what always looks to me like a strange and beautiful synchronised 'dance' before settling down. Have a good week ahead and stay safe and well.

Beautiful take on the bird hide with the blue sky reflected in the windows and a flock of birds creating a plume in the background!
Unfortunately, I can only see the second pip (but maybe it's something with my connection - I cannot get the translator function to work either).
Thank you for this lovely image, Carol, and HFF!

4 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Annalia S.

Thank you very much Annalia. Really appreciated. The murmuration is a joy to watch as a huge flock of starlings come together almost like a long ribbon of birds as they swoop around the sky before settling down. I am sorry about the PiP. I managed to delete it whilst changing the size but it is ok now. Have a good week and stay safe

Hi Carol

A very nice picture, and a very substantial and posh looking hide!

We do get the occasional starlings in the garden here, but never in such massive numbers...!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Ecobird ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Thank you very much Peter. We used to get families of them at our small feeders and they squabbled endlessly and were really noisy and messy, and even used the small water feature as a bath! It is hard to imagine they could be so silent and graceful in the air. Stay safe and well
