Otmoor Murmuration

I can't explain why I've never gotten round to going to see (or indeed try to photograph) the regular starling murmuration at RSPB Otmoor.

Went over to Otmoor in early afternoon to see how high the water levels are (very, unsurprisingly) and realised that not only were we likely to get a decent sunset but that there might be a chance to see the starlings too.

And both did put in an appearance - there's a flickr set from the evening.

I've seen murmurations before elsewhere, but here I was struggling to remember that I was watching tens of thousands of individuals, rather than one creature. It really is an awesome sight.
