As I walked home with the dogs the other
evening, I was enthralled by clouds of starlings in a “murmuration” above
me. There were hundreds of birds,
swooping and reeling in a breath-taking, synchronised, balletic display. The musical
sound of their beating wings as they soared and wheeled above me was magical to
hear. Although the birds are seen as a pest in urban areas, they’re on the
critical list of birds at risk in the UK so it’s important for their survival
that they safely gather each evening in the local woods after they have
performed their aerial display
