So, you’ve seen 1 murmuration, so you’ve seen them all? Hmmmmm. No. Can’t seem to get enough. This team was shooting a commercial in Marseille France and waiting for their prop – - “when thousands and thousands of birds came and made this incredible dance in the sky.” And just look what they captured. 2.5 minutes of magnificent cinematography and music (“Hand-Made” by Alt-J). Good Thursday morning.

that was exquisite… like poetry in motion! and the music… who is that singing! I love that stirring tone in his voice. You are a sensitive soul David, with very good taste. What do you do for a living? or is that pushing the blogging boundaries of confidentiality?
Adriana, the group is “Alt-J” and the song is called “Hand-Made.” See http://davidkanigan.com/about-leadership-leader-manager-management-growth-development-inspire-inspiration-thrive-learn/ for background….
Hi, It’s real? No graphics involved. Amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
It is real…yes.
Perfect title
Jellyfish in the sky!
Yes, certainly is.
Wow…nature’s show of strength, beauty, community and love! I adored watching the shapes change so seamlessly into art! The knowledge that these are birds is just jaw dropping ~ what a wondrous sight to enjoy this morning with my coffee! Thank you!
It is awesome…thank you…
Phenomenal.
It really is…
Whitney, check out this amazing video!
How graceful and somehow appearing rehearsed despite they’re impromptu choreography. Loved it.
Yes, it is, magical.
Nature is full of delights, the mass of starlings is one.
Dreamlike, yes Alex.
No matter how many times I see videos of birds flying like this I am still amazed….beautiful gift to us to enjoy!
I’m with you Tina.
The music was perfect for that one…thanks David.
It was Carol. And I’ve never heard of the band (Alt-J) before.
I wonder what kind of birds they were. Any idea?
Starlings.
Amazing and beautiful.
It is…
Awesome share, Dave. Can’t pick just one word to describe it — and even then, together, they don’t seem to come close enough — but here are a few:
stunning, arresting, bewitching, beguiling, graceful, elegant, magnificent . . .
Love them all Sandy!
Simply stunning. When I watched this I thought of my own site. This is truly WeMoveTogether,. Now imagine the same on Terra Nova and people moving as such. Birds and nature has much to teach us.

It is stunning Michael, thanks. This clip should be featured as you Anthem!
All of the above.. all of it…
I love the title, WeMoveTogether. How beautiful that sounds, I’d love to visit. Such lovely comments in response to David’s magical sharing

Yes, Michael has a great blog title (and a great blog).
I LOVE the way they dissolve and coalesce again–so graceful, indeed like a ballet as you say. And watching them, I felt like I was taking a Rorschach test administered by Mother Nature–ooohh, there’s an amoeba! Wow, what a mountain range! Hey, did you see that chicken?! (sorry, had to throw that in for Mimi….). Wonderful share, David–thank you!
So, funny. Did you see the chicken. Unfortunately, she’s rubbing off on you.
