Probably one of the best videos of a murmuration I've seen. I've seen a few in real life and it never ceases to thrill and amaze me. It's organic and to me mimics organic forms on earth - I saw a whale, an eel, a bird and just a live organic creature. Mind-blowing every time I see it!!!

[@francoisbessing]

My heart rose and lifted with the birds. What a mighty thing nature is.

[@Claireonline]

Incredible right? 😍

[@hawkeye3905]

I’ve just had this beautiful experience over my home this evening. It moved me to the core!

[@teresaoreilly7252]

I have seen starlings do this often. It's breathtaking every time.

[@flowinglikethewater]

Simply beautiful. These starlings are communicating something.

[@moontan91]

it literally IS a magical show. wonderful video, thanks so much!

[@Claireonline]

It really is!

[@wendycrawford1792]

Beautiful beyond words…..

[@emmsue1053]

Thank you Claire! The sound of them overhead is amazing too!

[@Frisellafans]

Came from Behance to watch this. Surreal. Bizarre and breathtaking at the same time. So glad you were able to witness this in person and capture it for others to see. Nature is unreal and amazing in its own ways. Thank you for putting this out.

[@Claireonline]

Hi Frisella! Thank you for your comment! Yes, It's was an incredible show, so amazing to have experienced it!

[@ruthestefanychimbocampover3429]

Lo que puedo decir es, Dios es asombroso!!!!!!

[@Thegoobiegoobers]

I like how the birds are flying gently in the sky and I love how they’re forming in a tornado it looks like a tornado is happening but it’s made out of birds it looks very nice and I think like how the birds are flying gently in the sky

[@Claireonline]

Thanks a lot! Yes it’s great to see how they form shapes. 😍

[@Earleyyourmean]

Watch it with a different type music playing, I’ve never noticed anything gentle about a starling up close…

[@Darmeliana]

Son bellísimosss 😍❤❤❤

[@marcus_t_ward]

[@claudelebel49]

I've never seen one so beautiful such that I wondered if there was some trickery to it.

[@spg1674]

WOW!!! Just phenomenal! Nothing humans have created can match the Starling Murmurations!❤❤❤ I believe they are trying to communicate something to humanity when they perform these Murmurations...just Incredible 🙏🦋🦋🦋

[@dianerobinson5336]

Nature providing us with yet another breathtaking moment. Not only did you capture the beauty of the dance, but you couldn't have asked for a better back drop than the colors of the sky at that very moment. Beautifully captured and the music you paired it with fit's perfectly! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Claireonline]

Such a wonderful compliment, thank you so much!

Thank you! This touches me deeply. Tears everytime I watch and listen. A Heavenly communion dance.

[@UnderHisWing7]

Beautiful, I picked up a shocked starling off the road. It flew out of my hand just 15 min after getting itself settled. This made me interested in these birds. Great video.

[@Ubless]

What a beautiful 😍 scenery 😍 ❤️!! Thank you for sharing 🙏 🙏

[@Aunia1]

this is beyond beautiful. not only the footage but ur choice of music is incredible

[@sheilalynch2043]

Words escape me, and what words I have don’t even come close to describing my feelings about this. The supreme beauty of nature, far beyond the capability of any human.

[@francoisbessing]

Beautiful words.

[@Claireonline]

I completely agree with you. Beautiful words Sheila! 😄

[@Claireonline]

Thank you for your comment Sheila. The beauty of nature is indeed amazing! ❤️

[@bluespruce679]

How do they do that!!!!! Are there any other bird species that carry on like these Starlings? It boggles my mind trying to fathom how they manage to perform such amazing acrobatics while flying!! Unbelievable and unbelievably beautiful for ground-bound earthlings like me! ☺️💜🕊💜

[@SMX815]

They are a sight to behold & it is something you just have to see with your own eyes to believe 👍

[@laurahanna369]

I watch a series of birds murmuring the energy these awesome creatures form as ONE. ONE with all one with GOD one with creation. We as humans must learn to be ONE to heal the planet with love peace respect for our grandiose planet.

Fantastic Video. I've always loved watching these when I lived in Baltimore county. This year I found a baby that I have hand raised and when she flies around the house her pattern and movement changes are so neat to see . Starlings are truly awesome birds

[@loveandllife]

mother nature dancing in the sky ❤❤❤❤❤

[@patjaffe6066]

This is phenomenally beautiful! Thank you for capturing this incredible moment Claire! Also my friend and I wrote some music where we used this footage (and some of your other images) as prompts while we were composing, would love to talk about licencing it and I sent you a message/email. Thanks so much again!

[@gamac84]

I miss seeing this in person. Great shot!!

Crow Facts February 21, 2013 Video Player 00:00 00:54 Many people fear them simply because of their black feathers, which are often associating them with death. But research demonstrated in A Murder of Crows proves crows are actually very social and caring creatures, and also among the smartest animals on the planet.

[@nathanthrows]

Thank you for these amazing images! I was wondering how long these normally last. I haven't been able to find any longer videos (20-40 minutes) If you live near where this happens I would love so much to see longer clips !

[@butti9249]

Very, very, very beautiful!

That was a truly memorising display of Starlings. Stunning camera works as well. 😀 That was considerably better than my attempts at filming the Starlings where I live.

[@Claireonline]

Thank you so much for your nice words! I actually filmed this with my iPhone. I was lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right moment!

[@frankinblackpool]

An iPhone? All the more stunning then, because your skill shone through. 😀

[@grassisgrin]

you are awesome, so ethereal

Gorgeous😍 the murmuration. But I would have loved to hear the sound of the birds instead of the music…

[@vitaliehret]

Hi Claire, my girlfriend showed me your video. Wow. Really amazing, intelligent creatures! I'm a musician from Berlin. Wanted to ask you if I could use a part of your fantastic video in one of my music videos? That would be fantastic! All the best 🙂 Vitali

In 1960 I remember watching the National evening news on TV with my Dad. I was a young teenager in High School. It showed a Eastern Airlines passenger plane taking off at the airport in Boston (USA European Starling murmuration flew into the plane's flight pathway jamming both engines. The plane promptly went down and crashed. 62 people died. It remains the worst Bird strike in U.S. history. So much for invasive beauty.
