“Tens of thousands of starlings start their murmuration, with Criffel mountain in the background, as dusk fell last night (November 5, 2014) on the England and Scotland border near Gretna Green.”

WOW! Incredible!
Yes…And always, wonder, how long the photographer waited for that shot, and what he felt in the moment.
Fantastic shot!
Amazing….nature never fails to astound, does she?
She doesn’t. No she doesn’t.
Love it! Always something to be in awe of?
Yes…and many times we don’t have to look hard.
murmuring and forming shapes ..as they move
Yes, one can hear the sound and flutter and not even be present.
Amazing…. and so beautiful. Thank you dear David, love, nia
Thanks Nia. It is…
oh. my.
A really breathtaking sight! Thanks for sharing, David.
It is Sylvia.
It looks like a painting – absolutely stunning. I have a very good friend who is a nature and avian photographer. He can and does sit for literally HOURS to get the one shot. I admire and envy the stamina and patience of that man.
Not sure I could do it (no, I can’t) but admire those that can. Lucky us…
Beats Kansas by a long shot.
It’s neck and neck! 🙂
