murmuration

What the heck is a murmuration? No it's not a heart condition, it's what they call the effect when thousands of birds flock and fly together forming intricate patterns as they move in synchronicity. Most commonly in the UK it will be starlings. You can often see then doing this at dusk near the seaside or in the countryside just before settle down to roost for the night. Quite breathtaking to watch.
