A Marsh Harrier decided to see what the atmosphere around a rainbow tastes like too!

I'm finding it hard to post images tonight.....
....this is the fifth attempt

Murmurations of starlings in Somerset, UK
Just a small group doing a practice run (getting photo-bombed by a rainbow was bad luck )

All three are beautiful shots, Colin. I like the second one most.
P.S: I had to look up murmurations. Wow! The number of sterlings join, is mind-blowing.

Yes a few different species of birds do it, but Starlings seem to have the biggest displays
(locals estimated over 100,000 massing during the week we were there, though I didn't see that on the night we were there)

Really like the your rainbow birdie shots 


Each Magpie is a different bird.

Beautiful natural background.  The shape created by the birds looks like a fish.

Nice shots, Ken - I have Magpies in visiting my backyard and they are fun to observe. You can always hear if they have found something interesting

Nice catch Chip, looks like black crows.
