Absolutely stunning video taken in Ireland of a kaleidoscope of starlings (a variety of bird) performing for the videocamera:



A collection of starlings is called a "murmuration".  No joke!

Here's the video once again with a much more lengthy explanation of what a "murmuration" actually is:

Ditto. Thank you for sharing!

It's the poison that it measures
Brings illuminating vision
It's the knowing with a wink
That we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.
