A Wildlife Spectacle | Starling murmuration.

[@zulymaritzacalixflores3906]

Thank you for sharing!!!! Just beautiful scenery!!! Shalom!!!!!

[@Bob808Knight]

Two thumbs up for sure Donny.. I Have to say I do enjoy hiking in the fog it's like a different world isn't it . I think the best part of the video was watching the birds fly in unison.. It was beautiful and a little spooky at the same time... Awesome job is always Donny......

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Bob808Knight Yeah, I love weather that's a bit different. Or times of day that change the mood of a place, like early morning, or at night. Fog and mist is magical..I always love that.

[@davegoodridge8352]

I've seen this several times here in central Oklahoma. One time in particular it was so awesome I pulled off the road to watch. And I had two thoughts. One, what a wonderful display of nature. And two, why was everyone else driving by. I hope to never be so busy I can't stop and watch those special moments.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

David Goodridge Agreed! It's a wonderful sight. Nature puts on some great shows.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I have been more than impressed by every video you have put up but you have definitely raised the bar with this one. Absolutely awesome. Jason

[@DonnyOutdoors]

primalarcher Thank you Jason. Day's like this are great, where lots of wildlife is about and put on amazing shows for us to see!

[@HelenaMikas]

[@DonnyOutdoors]

KennethKramm Thank you Ken, means alot :) atb..Donny.

A very well-filmed adventure. I appreciated that there were no human voices, rather words on the screen to identify birds. The mist, the green, the silence and finally the murmuration of starlings. A dream of a film. Thanks for posting it.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Thanks very much! And thanks to your comment I have just rewatched this myself, to relive the moment. Reminds me that although winter is again approaching, there's still so much enjoyment to be had outdoors.

[@MikeSmith777]

Great video Donny, wonderful pictures of the expanse of wildlife at that nature reserve, and the starlings at the end were amazing. Atb Mike.

[@Tammockman]

Very nice Donny it's an amazing sight. I live near Eastbourne on the south coast and the Birds live under the pier structure. At the end of the display it's like a Hoover is switched on and they all disappear under the structure in seconds to roost. Love your videos ATB Spenny

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Tammockman Sounds great that! hah... Cheers...Donny.

[@spijkerpoes]

It used to be us laughing at the uk, where all things feathered was shot from the sky.. Now i see that the tables have turned.. ..what a grand spectacle. It d take weeks for me to find that host of species.. I last seen starlings flog when i was 12.. thanks man!

[@DonnyOutdoors]

spijkerpoes It was quite a sight! Glad you enjoyed it...Donny.

[@got1intheshed]

Wow, amazing.

[@craftywildcamps]

Brilliant video. I'm sure the starling population is increasing, I remember seeing this 30 years back. It's a great sight to see. Are you in the video/design business? Steve

[@DonnyOutdoors]

C Veg Hopefully the starling population is increasing. They're actually on the Red List, with a 70% decline since the 70s. This time of year though, it looks like there's plenty! With the migrants that come in from Europe. I'm not in the video business, I just enjoy making them! I do graphic design though. Cheers bud...all the best...Donny.

[@gepenner]

Wow! Magical moments in nature. May I ask what kind of camera you use?

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Thanks, I'm just using my Panasonic V-520 as it has good zoom.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent vid Donny.

[@MCQBushcraft]

That was incredible, really amazing!!! Thank you for the video.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

***** Thanks Mike. I love days like this, where the weather, the scenery, the wildlife all comes together just perfectly, to make an unforgettable day.

[@Simply-canoeCoUk]

Ah man what a stunning video! You always set the mood brilliantly Donny, and then what a way to end with such a spectacle, awesome!. You need to set yourself a task to get something on Spring or Autumnwatch...Fantastic my friend! ...Atb Nige

[@alexbrown5434]

Stunning!!

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Canoe and Trail - Outdoors Blog Thanks Nige. It'd be great to get something onto Spring/Autumnwatch. I always watch those programs. I'll try to work towards making some seriously good videos...I'm always looking to better myself. Better practice my narration voice lol.

[@steveinthethumb6441]

Beautiful. Amazing footage. I enjoy viewing your videos. Great eye and artistic format. What camera do you use? I looked at previous videos; but must of missed it? Thank you & take care Donny.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Thanks. In this video I'm just using my Panasonic V-520. It has good zoom so it's ideal for wildlife. For some other videos I use my Canon 550D with better quality footage.

[@josephavalos7894]

8:23 you see what I am fairly sure is a Peregrine Falcon enter the screen from the right and stoop down at the Starlings and you can see it has another raptor there (probably its mate) giving chase as well.

[@knucker4931]

A stunning video, very enjoyable. Al

[@GreencampRhodie]

Truly awesome filming, scenery and location. Mother nature is perfect. I cud spend all day somewhere like that, wish i had somewhere here. This filming shud b on mainsteam tv, defo. Beautiful, thank you.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

GreencampRhodie Many thanks! It was a very enjoyable day. A place I shall return to again soon. I also love to travel through this area on the River Nene, in my canoe. Which I plan to do very soon.

[@georgeprime2249]

Skip to 8 mins in for Starlings.

[@gwafilms]

Great film, really enjoyed it:)

[@brocktify]

Great video Donny, what's changed- am I to understand that have you've invested in some better equipment? I've really enjoyed what you've been posting after stumbling across your site a couple of months ago. The editing continuity also seems more fluid. All power to you Mr Outdoors... Brocktify.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

For some videos I use my Canon 550D but here I'm just using my Panasonic V -520. The quality is not the best but it has good zoom. Mostly to improve my videos I'm just making sure I take well composed, smooth shots and getting good angles. I just enjoy making videos really, from recording to editing. All the best, Donny.

[@karenchakey]

That was amazing!

[@WOODLIFEUSA]

pretty cool man!

[@cool_hand_luke97]

Great

[@erosionhead420]

Beautiful, instantly subbed.

[@georgeprime2249]

Some people ask, why do they do this murmuration. I say, because they can.

[@josephavalos7894]

They do it to avoid Raptors trying to hunt them. I believe they also do it for other reasons but often you can spot Raptor(s) in the video as you can here at 8:23 a Falcon does a stoop and it has a partner there too.

[@CyPhi68]

Enjoyed the video. i would prefer no music, just the bird sounds. The music was eerie. I finally watched it on mute.

[@abitofthisabitofthatwithda5379]

glad to see that you guy's got mass starlings too! got to figure something to do with the starlings. i cant stand them they drive away other birds. invasive- pesky things they are.

[@WrongwayProductions]

Zen.
