starlings





Yesterday, just before getting dark,
I saw an lots of birds flying...going around and circles above the city, where I visited a good friend of mine..
Everytime we looked, another group of birds joined the bigger group... moving like waves in the air.
An enormous spectacular sight...!
Never seen this real time..only on a tv...and I always hoped to see this in real life.

Thousands and thousands of birds flying like waves...flying in one huge flock of birds, moving in & out one-another... like a wave-dance...
Making beautiful paterns of grew clouds changing into deeper greys and antracites...turning into paler greys..and on & on.
Everytime more birds joined...coming out of nowhere...
wondering where they came from and how they knew...
Awesome sight, for about an hour...then getting more dark.
I saw them like a funnel going down... then suddenly all birds were gone...

We biked to the place where we thought they had landed...and found!
All the birds suddenly had dropped, perched into 3 or 4 trees..sitting so close together..and making chirping loud sounds...it was spectacular...awesome sight & sound
Rarely seen such an amazing wonder of nature!
