Every dot is a bird. And the whole sky keeps changing shape.

This is a starling murmuration at Strumpshaw Fen in Norfolk, filmed in November 2017. These gatherings often happen at dusk before the birds settle into a communal roost. Safety in numbers, with a very good sunset view.

Want to see one? Check recent local sightings before heading out, arrive before dusk and give the roost space.
