The Everything Animal Thread

So beautiful. I have had flocks of starlings soar like that in my yard, but it doesn’t look quite as spectacular as my yard can't compare to Brighton lol. 🤩

I did go on a sunset cruise two years ago to see the swallows...a similar sight as the starlings. Their formation isn't quite as uniform but it was an amazing sight nonetheless.
 
@shyvas It's really something how a flock that size can co-ordinate their flight. I almost had to laugh at around 1:15 minutes into the video. At the lower right corner, you can see two starlings (I assume) breaking away from the flock for some reason... "See ya!! Gotta split...."

(edited to correct my spelling: "their fight" to "their flight")

I'm amazed as I have no idea how they manage to do it. Moreover, it looks like they are orchestrated!

You always have a few rebels in a group..... :laughing:
