This image, of Starlings flying over the sea in Brighton, was created using an intentionally slow shutter speed (not ICM) and finished with Topaz Restyle.
Murmurations can be mezmerising as thousands of birds apear to be synchonizingly flying swiftly and gracefully in beautiful designs in the sky.
What some don't realize is that more often then not, these murmurations are caused by a falcon near the edge of the flock. It turns out that the beauty of a murmuraton's movements often arises purely out of defense, as the starling strive to put distance between themselves and the predator.
While watching this flock in awe as they appeared to be purposely creating cool designs in unison in the sky, I took some pics of portions of the flock and discovered there indeed was an intruder among them!
A starling murmuration forms in the late evening over Clifton pond and a it was like watching natures fascinating theatre.

Saw a wonderful starling murmuration at Attenborough Nature Reserve. Wasn’t sure how best to photograph it with the lens I had on. Couldn’t get the whole flock in, but I like this one with a bit of zoom and showing the moon through a gap in the birds.
The swoop and dive of the starlings. fascinating and mesmerising to watch, was lucky to capture this.
Yesterday’s murmuration in Brighton, probably a finale until November then. The starlings suddenly grouped closed to each other to scare the pair of Peregrine falcon away.

We have been very fortunate to have a Starling murmuration close to home and I have been attending most evenings it is quite a spectacle with performances just after the sun has set. Yesterday evening the sky backdrop was a heart warming orange.

Spectacular scene, difficult to do it justice in a still photo, the largest number of starlings we've ever seen murmurating, the sky was literally full of starlings :)
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

Taken in Brighton on an RPS Photography workshop with Philip Bedford. I knew Whitstable Photographic Group were holding a Creative Competition and I wanted to try using ICM to blur the stationary thing, then add a moving thing frozen in space. The pier and murmuration allowed me to get both shots i needed within an hour of each other. There are also some textures here, but these were photographed on other occasions. The image was given first place in the competition.

Rather lucky to see a murmuration of starlings on Tuesday evening. I expect there were several thousand birds who started forming into smaller groups soon to become one big group circling around the Bromfield area just after the sun dipped behind the distant hills of South Shropshire. The whole display must have lasted almost half an hour.
The display didn't quite tie in with the Premier service passing me, so this is a merge of two images taken 36 seconds apart.

Timing was fantastic ... took me 3 years to get these. Thanks Sue for doing the hard work and timing!! was the most magical evening/day
"Where the long, slant rays are beaming,
Where the shadows cool lie dreaming,
Pale the Indian pipes are gleaming
Laugh, O murmuring spring!"
