In the sky this would cause a murmuration. I have never seen as many starlings as this, Keith.

Wow!!!!!! A fabulous shot Keith, which I envy! I have tried many time to get a picture like this, but they have all been blurred. The murmurations are a wonderful spectacle. People flock to the Somerset Levels in autumn to see them every year.

That's a cracker with that long lend Keith. You have managed to capture this perfectly as they swoop off. I had to look twice to check that they were real.

Great stuff, well done. Herb

Thousands of starlings form a single body. I guess the soundstage has to be deafening. They got bad press here but it can't be worse than what we should have.

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous comments. I'm really struggling to master this particular lens and when I get a "keeper" like this I'm really pleased that you all like it too.

I saw this yesterday and don't know why I didn't give it a star. A very sculptural look -- low relief.

I love that the 2 most recent photographs in 'm m multiples s s' are complete opposites! Yours is a madhouse of energy and the prior one is calm and contemplative!

I love this photo. It's almost like an Escher painting. www.ebay.com/itm/124292471504
thanks for adding to the group.

I see what you mean Laura...........as different as chalk and cheese! Glad you like it......and thank you.

An interesting link.........I like the T-shirt, but I wouldn't pay that much for it, even if I could afford it..!!

raingirl club has replied to Keith Burton club
haha! I wasn't suggesting anyone buy it. (only so you could see the version of the art I was thinking of.) Collectors are an interesting breed. If they really want it, they will pay. My collections tend to be free rocks, books, and photos I've taken myself or bought from friends. Oh, and art that my mom paints - she's quite good (and she doesn't charge me).
