European #Starlings are loud and conspicuous and can be found traveling in large groups, even with other birds such as blackbirds and grackles. I photographed this one about to grab a snack in #Chicago, #Illinois.⠀

British photographer @danny_green_photography won our Black and White category in 2009 with this dramatic shot of starlings sweeping through the skies in Gretna Green, Scotland. The gathering was the most impressive he had ever seen.
Starling populations in the UK swell in December and January as birds from the continent head for milder wintering areas.
Huge flocks roost in many spots throughout the country, and as Danny had been working on a long-term project to photograph these impressive roosts, he had visited most of them.
The stage was set – a perfect evening, hundreds upon thousands of starlings. And then the main character appeared, off stage-left – a peregrine falcon, which sent ripples of pulsating panic throughout the entire flock.
Danny used a slow shutter-speed to accentuate the sweeping movement as the birds exploded over farmland and trees to escape the hunting peregrine.

This flock of starlings was captured at the perfect moment by photographer Stephen Miles at the Attenborough Nature Reserve in the UK.
Starlings are a family of bird that can be found in different varieties all around the world. They are highly social, and can often be found in flocks, which are also known as murmurations. A murmuration can contain thousands of birds. There are sometimes multiple different species of starlings within a single murmuration, and occasionally species from other families are present as well. These large groupings likely help them deter predators, keep warm, and exchange information about the surrounding area.
