Gretna Green Starling Murmurations

[@onlylexus]

I have seen folds turn within tunnels, I have touched the silken sky as countless artists weave grace before my very eyes. Harmony of winds as if each breath of tiny life is reaching out to me. Wings of divine dunes dance in myriads of haze and I see wonders that hold me speechless. Each one spins a web as if controlled by natures built-in chip. I see grace and I know that I am nothing in comparison, for we are nothing because we dance alone, not so the Starling... unity is life and so wonderful.

[@Tobygold1]

Beautiful words. Your own?

[@Tobygold1]

But we are not nothing because we see and wonder. In the act of wondering we long for our true nature- we sense we can be more. But 'built-in chip' should be 'built-in rite'. Much better!

[@HelenaMikas]

The wonderful world of nature surpasses anything humans can do ..Starlings bring joy and harmony to a very angry world .Watching your amazing video is a joy .Many thanks .

[@wildaboutimages]

Thanks

'Murmuration', written by Paul Manning I have seen folds turn within tunnels, I have been touched by the silken blue sky as countless artists weave their grace before my very eyes. They are a harmony of winds, as if each breath of tiny life is reaching out to my own spirit. Wings of divine dunes dance in myriads of haze and I see wonders that hold me speechless. Each one spins a harmonious web as if controlled by natures built-in chip. I see grace and I am humbled, for I know that I am nothing in comparison. We are nothing because we dance alone, but not so the Starling... unity is the very life of these birds, and it is so wonderful to feel them stirring my heart and soul in deep awe for them.

[@ebygum333]

i was lucky enough to see this evry nite for a while years ago, it never fails to impress,, love the way they all land at once..

[@jackiehaydl6209]

one of the best murmurations videos i've seen - mesmerizing.

[@saraebirgisdottir1415]

If anyone's wondering, the song is Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi

[@envagyok8252]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

[@carolinelessels8356]

Thank you, I was wondering about the music - it is 'just right'!

[@theresa9934]

Beautiful, thanks

[@thewizeard]

Thank you Sara! :)

[@hadishstreet3066]

I appreciate you xx

[@deechurch1919]

Whenever I'm in need of a little healing magic I walk down to the River Thames and watch the starlings gathering and then roosting under Wandsworth Bridge. Magnificent birds :)

[@friendoengus]

whoever cannot feel the divine here, must be blind or frozen thanks for showing it

[@cortster12]

Nature is amazing -- no need for the divine.

[@nzAyran]

Same thing.

[@anikahmed7544]

Simply amazing!!! Marvel of nature. "Triumph in harmony" - Well said.

[@robag71]

Wow! Amazing dance, like they were hearing the music. :-) Beautiful video.

[@Jozz57]

This is more wonderful than I have words for. Thank you so much for sharing

[@pennywhite6203]

This is one of the most beautiful and moving videos I have ever seen. Thank you for posting.

[@kristyabbott946]

This is the first song and picture that has made me feel alive in the longest time. Thank you

[@НеПодарок-ж3ц]

обалденно красиво.. ещё и музыку так точно подобрали!

[@LeeVickers]

Stunning. One of the most beautiful things I've seen. I had the privilege to witness a small murmuration, but even that was amazing!

[@annie5591]

Thank you for posting...one of the best videos of a murmuration I've seen. Truly beautiful...love the choice of music, too.

[@josephfrancisneri]

This is Art. Every day, somewhere, the canvas is being painted.

[@strav1231]

Rupert Sheldrake - morphic resonance. Thanks for the gorgeous post!

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

My friend and I were watching a WAY SMALLER flock trying this out. We didn't know what they were doing. He said they're confused. I think maybe they just needed a few thousand more players! This is fantastic! Thank you

[@analbumcover2812]

What beautiful images to lovely music.

[@maron297]

Analbum Cover Amazing....no words...

[@zsazsagabor9127]

[@avrilwynnedavies]

Stunning and would also have like to hear the murmuration, much as I do like this piece of music.

[@mariapapagalaki1636]

It's so amazing!!!!

Beautiful, and such a good choice of music!

[@divadoll55]

Beautiful! The power of Nature and our Mother Planet. Brilliant! This is living proof that the planet is a living being full of love for all who see her for who she is.

[@megmoses328]

just wonderful to see,, beautiful music, the magic of this

[@thegypsypriestess]

Thank you for this. I remember when I was a little girl on the school playground in Texas, huge shadows would fall over the playground on hot, sunny days, and I would look up and see these birds when I expected a thundercloud! Pure magick!!!

[@SheenaRea]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[@mdavid22]

Loved every second of it

[@MDzVQPln]

mesmerizing and incredible!!!!

[@Spiritbutterflies]

Wonderful capture of this amazing sight. :-)

[@Cyber_Diva]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@LoveWiena]

we witnessed a murmuration today, although not so large, it was just as mesmerizing and spectacular.. I loved at the end of this video how they all just settled down as one....that's the same that happened with ours as well. So very cool to see in person.

[@gingercasey]

Stunning, by the way - just beautiful

[@sorayaluiz4920]

Gorgeous,thank you

[@remsan03]

There's gotta be one bird who thought "Who's steering this herd and does he know where we're going?"

[@Volcarona1111]

Flock. It's a flock.

[@drubber007]

@@Volcarona1111 If we're being pedantic it's actually a murmuration not flock.

[@DrWalrusGumboot]

I've watched dozens of KZbin starling murmurrations, but this one is the best I've seen. Over half a million views and this is the first comment?

At last I find it! First time I saw your video 5 or 6 years ago, and lost( it's pure beautiful, thank you a lot❤️.

[@Anahi9051]

Precioso, maravilloso!! Gracias por este video, la música que acompaña los vuelos de éstos seres increíbles es muy apropiada. Excelente!!

[@ewakamiska]

Amazing show!

[@Sukhoi1983]

We have those in our forest aswell every year, i love to watch these birds when walking my dog.

[@VincentKulagin]

WOW!! Beautiful! Thanks

[@rebeccasiddal1228]

Absolutely stunning. Seen a couple but never as large as that. Nature is amazing.

[@johnstewart3244]

[@CRISTOFOLLIER]

Toujours impressionnant merci

[@butti9249]

Magnificent!

[@KieranLeCam]

This beautifully illustrates the concept of the individual and the whole being diferent yet acting for the whole, while caring for the individual. Perhaps one day we can bounce around on flexible currents of life just like they do.

[@ravitejbapat5006]

Relaxing music 😊

[@FlatEarthHeadProds]

Simply breathtaking! If this isn't evidence of how we are all ONE........

[@naturfilmtv]

Fantastic!!!

[@ravenspirit59]

Magical! This behaviour is done for the pure joy of it, it really is magical

[@burninglion2584]

Astonishing... thanks for uploading. I have kinda missed this years murmurations, but I plan to go and visit next season with family and friends in tow. Might you be able to suggest a good place to view this from? I'd hate to go all that way and miss them because of bad placement!

[@manthasagittarius1]

Just incredible. It's one thing to know -- or have studied -- the way huge numbers of birds turn together on a wingflick -- and another altogether to see it. Isn't Gretna Green the place where you could come over the border and marry in as much of a hurry as you wish?

[@Vlinder333]

Beautiful!

[@Book7BrokeMyBrain]

So beautiful. I love the music, too. Now, if this were Doctor Who, those would be a school of fog fish or a swarm of metallic sharks. I'll take the starlings.

[@DorindaKissamitakis-p5j]

Wow, Wow, Wow That truly could only have been Created by God - it’s incredibly unique & beautiful. Was reading from Our Daily Bread & had no idea what was being said until I decided to see what the writer was talking about. Amazing!! Sorry but I do not believe any big bang theory could bring those murmurations into existence. Dorinda K.

[@kindafoggy]

There are many theories about the origins of the dragon myth, but seeing the sheer scale and almost predatory movement of this flock-creature is convincing enough for me. I can imagine that living in the Dark Ages where everything was imbued with symbolism and superstition, this would certainly strike terror into the imagination. It hinges on spooky for me, and I KNOW what I'm looking at!

[@LoreleiLala]

Lovely. I have them here too.

[@JP-Salles]

God, the greatest artist! ;)

[@TonyEnglandUK]

This really was great

[@ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣΜΟΥΡΑΤΗΣ-ο1η]

the beauty of the world unberable!!!!

[@remsan03]

This reminds me of the old Windows XP screen saver. But much more beautiful

[@JulieCRG]

From about 1:40 to the end is uncut. That is the best part!

[@HarborInsightCoaching]

[@f8ofk8]

It makes me want to cry.

[@jillianschantz]

Inspirant ! La nature est une grande artiste et elle ne fait que suivre le courant au gré des énergies.

[@carolynandrade6483]

Can I please show this video for a presentation linked to John Updike's poem "The Great Scarf of Birds"? I can simply link the youtube link on the PowerPoint if you'd like.

The perfect marriage of pure religion with the phenomenon of the cult. No leader. No ego. No conflict. A cohesive whole of individuals answering an inner directive.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Sir, you just made my day complete, what a superb video.

[@BBirdbrain]

Amazing - what a sight:)

[@pwhighfield]

I am thinking of using this video as Music for Reflection at my sister's funeral. She was an avid bird watcher who visited many RSPB sites and went on many nature holidays. May I have your permission?

[@somasekhar957]

perfect song

[@olifka57]

Мурмурация скворцов. Танец облаков. Синхронное плавание в небе.

[@LeGiTEntertainmentMediaCoInc]

This one's up the alley of my bucket list. Do you know around where and around when in the year do the starlings flock and fly in formation? Thanks for sharing, Absolutely Divine!

[@138Nikoleta]

Sooo beautiful and magical.......i'm speechless!!!!!!!!!!
