Battling strong winds, the birds fight to retain a cohesive form, creating loops, twists and spirals in the sky. Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, UK, February 2020

@bernoid What delightful colours

[Kathryn Cooper @KathCooper01]

Despite their numbers, the starlings are not easy prey. Predators such as peregrine falcon hunt by locking onto a single target. They will seek to pick off birds at the margins but the constant movement, changes of density, twists and turns of the flock confuse the predators.

@mikecurryphotos These are really nice work Mike. I particularly like the black and white one, but they're all very interesting. Well done.

[Kathryn Cooper @KathCooper01]

@UkStarlings The 2019/2020 season there was glorious. Fingers crossed they return in those kinds of numbers soon🤞

After the first starlings dive into the reeds, thousands of birds quickly follow, raining down to the
ground. Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, UK, December 2019
