Murmurations are huge groups of starlings that twist, turn, swoop and swirl across the sky in unison in beautiful shape-shifting clouds. Just before dusk, small groups of starlings from the same area come together above a communal roosting site. It's completely breathtaking to witness. Lake Ennell in Ireland is popular with Murmuration of starlings during the winter, estimates of half a million birds have been claimed. It is very close to me and decided to go and have a look. I have been visiting Lake Ennell for the last four years. It took time to know more about the behavior of the Murmuration of Starlings. Murmuration of Starlings are such a Nature Phenomen. It is impossible to forget it. It is beyond description.
