This flock of starlings at dusk is an amazing thing to see, near Oxford, England. The area is an RSPB reserve called Ot Moor. The road from the village to the parking lot is closed from January 7th to March so beware -- you can still see the starlings but it is a long walk. The music is from a company called CSS Music. The track is "soaring with the sun". This video was shot by Dylan Winter on a high definition camera. [5:28]

This guy delivers some of the longest spoken sentences I've ever heard. A British trait maybe?
I too, could watch these air dances all day long.
Fabulous. Thanks Dylan
Marvellous. We have starlings here, but not in such numbers. I have watched Chimney Swifts and Sandpipers perform similar astounding acrobatics.
