Starling Fly Past

Starling Fly Past
Winter light as one of a number of groups of birds gathering in preparation for the late afternoon murmurations, which culminates in a mass roost in the tall coastal reeds at Steart Flats on the Somerset Coast,
They move so quickly, getting everything in focus is rather difficult

In the pip, Another smaller groups arrives to wait on the nearby wires

Large view recommended

Gorgeous light Roger...........and a wonderful birds-in-flight capture. Viewed large you can see that the vast majority of them are nicely in focus and yet the shot retains a good sense of movement too.

A cracking PiP as well. I love to see birds sitting on overhead wires, like little musical notes.

Thank you, Keith, The ground speed was surprising, but thankfully they made more than one pass and after the third attempt with some panning and a fast shutter I managed a useable shot or two

I have never seen a murmuration, Roger. I did witness a small group flying together when we were in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago, but that's a near as I've got. It would be nice if the two groups got together.

They are one of natures wonders, and we are fortunate to have a number of regular roosting sites that produce most evenings at the moment, thank you, Amelia.
