They are amazing to watch, that's for sure!

Every day on my way home from work, I have to cross a bridge from Louisville to Southern Indiana. Well, every day on the way home from work, Starlings put on a show for all the people driving across the bridge, because they fly around it, and sometimes it's like driving through a moving tunnel -- if you can imagine that. They swirl above and below the bridge, and it is pretty cool to watch -- while watching the road at the same time, of course!!

One of those times when it is annoying that my stone-age computer doesn't do videos!

That's for sure, Pelle!! Let's hope it stays that way too!! But it is quite the sight! Shame they don't do it in the morning, because I'd be able to get a little footage of it then!

Gee Resin thats ashame you can't see the video.

Have you ever been to Otmoor near Oxford?

Sure looks like a great birding area.

No shortage of Starlings there.

Amazing!

Thanks for posting that Pelle!

Nope - it's down in southern England, well away from where I am. Have heard of it though, it is a farm that the RSPB bought up and converted to bird-friendly farming methods, as a demonstration farm to show how it can be done.
