this astonishing sequence was filmed by wild life cameraman and travel journalist Dylan Winter who is currently sailing around the UK in an 18 foot boat. You can follow his journey and see more of his work at www.keepturningleft.co.uk.
this weekend a girl, friend with my wife came to our town ... saturday afternoon and all sunday, we visited ~20 churches and monasteries from and around town ... when we reached the church near Opera painted by Arsenie Boca, the mileage indicated 300 II I km (so just passed the 29th) ... also, 11 yesrs ago yesterday, Patriarch Daniel was named the head of Romanian Orthodox Church ... @ ~ 5 pm we also reached another church painted by Arsenie Boca, at Draganescu ... for sanctification of the Church ... thousandas of people there, wife's friend had to reach the airport so we chose to leave ... when driving back, between Draganescu and Mihailesti, out of nowhere, a flock of small birds, I don't know what birds (not crows / sparrows / pigeons) came from a tree from the left and blocked the road ... took us some 2 minutes to pass ... after airport, me and wife chose to return to Draganescu church ...
i usually hate the so-called music people add to videos, but this is just wonderful, done with great timing like choreography - and actually enhances the dance of the birds. . . thank you so much - just incredible!
I have seen folds turn within tunnels, I have touched the silken sky as countless artists weave grace before my very eyes. Harmony of winds as if each breath of tiny life is reaching out to me. Wings of divine dunes dance in myriads of haze and I see wonders that hold me speechless. Each one spins a web as if controlled by natures built-in chip. I see grace and I know that I am nothing in comparison, we are nothing because we dance alone, not so the Starling... unity is life and so wonderful.
I was smiling all through this video. My problems became totally inconsequential at the sight of this wonder as I marvel at this beautiful gift, wrapped in Canon in D major
@Wheel No.4 actually i happen to have read that Jesus trough several modern day propphets talks about a earth in the shape of a globe. as for "what causes coronavirus" He is also found saying its man made but there will soon come worse viruses.
Sir, your words are as beautiful as the dance of the birds. I am reading this on my birthday and it's one of the best gifts ever... and from a stranger! Thank you!
Stunning! And not a single bird bumps into another. This just shows us what group cooperation and One-mindedness can do. It doesn't look like they're trying to "get anywhere".... just have fun! If people could work together like that, we really would create a new Heaven on Earth.
It moves randomly like that because they're trying to find another bird to follow. But, since noone bird is the leader they a move oddly following eachother
Have you ever listened to 'Imagine'? Do you think John Lennon was an idiot too? You probably do. But let me tell you that it's cynics like you who keep things as they are. Does that make you happy? Probably not. The hallmark of a cynic is that nothing can make him/her happy. I feel sorry for you and I hope you will one day see what you are doing to yourself and others, and change your ways. It's not that hard to do, trust me.
This is the most incredibly beautiful thing that I have ever seen. I can watch it over and over, and it still takes my breath away, literally, every time. Thank you so much for posting this.
It's a gift from God out of His love. to bring us joy, to look at and marvel.. His amazing Creation. There's no other explanation. They look like they're enjoying it too!
I remember the day when I was in France, and these birds were flying together just like in the video - as though they were a single entity navigating through the air, making visible their collective thoughts and putting colour to the air currents. It was a normal sight during the season but also surreal if you could spare a moment to lose yourself in the rolling waves of motion.
@@ciupenhauer the music complements the action and enhances it. shudder to think what one of those jingle-jangle backing tracks would have done to it! I'd never heard the trumpet variation before, now that's on my list to look for
@@penguin0101 I saw this in Brooklyn NY.At first I wondered how come a distant cloud was solid black.Then I couldn't understand how a cloud could move that way.I realized it was perhaps somewhere between 1 and 200,000 starlings flying in the distance!It was amazing.So far it remains a once in a lifetime experience.I would love to see it again and not just in a video.For now,the videos give me hope and they are all so different.Nature is magnificent!
@@leilanikuuipo6004 - "this video proves further doubt of god"??? probably not what you MEANT, but yes, I agree with what you SAID! Nature is enough in and of itself.
Wow Dylan thank you so much for sharing this video. It has to be the most amazingly stunning example of Mother Nature I have ever seen in my 69 years. Congratulations and cheers from Western Australia...keep them coming please Dylan..bit sad you only have mostly only dogs on your channel I was looking forward to seeing more amazing videos
This was so beautiful. I have seen a smaller group of starlings in murmuration from my yard, but the volume of birds here was fantastic. So relaxing watching them & the music was excellent too. Thank you for this video.😊❤
This beautiful and absolutely amazing performance these Starlings gave us is one of the most breathtaking things I have ever seen. I found a piece of music that I loved some time ago and this video was the first thing I thought of. The music fit perfectly. I looked long and hard and tried to find some decent video in the Public Domain to edit, but had no luck. This morning I was working out in my backyard and heard all this chirping and the next thing I know, hundreds of birds took flight from the trees. There must have been at least a thousand of them, right in front of me. I was about in tears because here was my chance to capture this beauty, but I know my camera doesn't have the quality to have created the brilliant images created in this video. I could never have done justice to what I was witnessing, so I refused to even try. I'm far from a professional photographer, but I know beauty when I see it and this video gives us seamless, flowing grace which brings tears to my eyes. It may sound corny, but it's the truth.
Well...yeah, it sounds corny I suppose. But we're corny people. I suppose. I wonder how many of them would constitute a good meal and how many of them my 12 Gauge would bring down loaded with skeet rounds. Also, I doubt if they were starlings at all. More likely they were "Grackles", which is a bird and not a snack food. I know I'm right because wise guy is always right, even when he's wrong he's right. Nice to hear from you. How did you manage to get unblocked? The mystery of it all...what is that out there? Now you just hush girl; 'fore I get a whuppin'.
My world...after spending the entire day laboring to give my Chevy a perfect compounding and waxing, I step back to rest my aching arms and admire the awesome sheen of my clean machine. Suddenly, from what seems to be nowhere, thousands or hundreds (make up your mind dear) of flying poop generators swoop down and carpet bomb my beauty. (Sob)
These are definitely Starlings as this was filmed in the UK. We don't have Grackles as they are mainly resident in the Americas. Unless, of course, they were over here on holiday :).
I hear you .. these beautiful creatures have a such an alluring, yet calming impact on us as humans that should be celebrated and appreciated .. also the way they work together , could teach us a thing or too about ourselves
I have watched this video many times. I just want to take a moment to thank you for filming this, and sharing it on the internet, so that I can be amazed by it over and over and over... Cynthia
Fun fact: this clever bird is known as a "starling" because the species will actually turn into a star (called a "lingstar") if you have enough of them in the same place. You will need roughly two hundred undecillion starlings to make your own lingstar. Since the Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes this process more difficult, the safest approach would be to establish an avian breeding program for starlings at your local metro park. Good luck, aspiring stellavianists!
Miss T. Wolf, Are you in any way related to Florence Ambrose? Just curious. Also, there are not enough Starlings in the human universal view of time/space/matter for an Undecillion, let alone 200 Undecillions. (I'm talking Starlings here, not anything else). However, if there were then it would simply be a case of mass collapsing through combined gravity and density (or do I mean Dentistry?). Probably. I'm no expert on the gravity caused by two hundred undecillion avianonic creatures, but that kind of mass of Starlings would...well...produce a rather...erm...interesting...um..mess, I suspect. I doubt the Starlings would find it much fun!
I've seen this video many, many, many times, and it never fails to amaze me.! Thank you so much to the person good enough to film this, and make it available for me to watch!
I must say this is one of the most amazing and most beautiful sights i have ever seen in my entire life. I've watched it over and over and over. And hmmmmm, think I'll watch it again...lol
Surely your comment is a bit unfair. You are able to write perfectly and express your thoughts clearly, which is no small accomplishment, seriously. They can't teach EVERYTHING, that would be impossible. You were taught how to think critically, and apparently very well, so you're perfectly equipped to discover about what interests you.
Your choice of music fit the astounding beauty of the Starlings perfectly. My eyes blurred with tears to watch such stunning poetry in motion while listening to the uplifting and inspiring music. Thank you for sharing with us God's indescribably beautiful creation! It boggles my mind trying to comprehend how so many birds in motion and close by each other, manage to never collide with one another!! If this were humans, we'd simply be one big explosion! Kah-Boom! ☺️
This is so beautiful, like schools of fish, or colliding galaxies... I'm glad there are some things that elude the exact, the empirical, the quantifiable, the demonstrable. I'm comfortable just allowing this to remain a mystery.
Cellists do not like Pachebel's canon. They have to play the same 8 notes over and over for about 4 minutes. They're nice notes, but they still drive you mad.
Just 4 years passed. What happend? Hundreds of thousands of people died due to natural disasters and wars. And i lost 1 great and sincerest human being i ever met.
I watched this then fell straight asleep with the lights on, it was that mesmerizing and calming with the music. Thanks, it helps me feel more calm with all these struggles going on in 2020
WOW! Have quite a few Starlings in our back yard in mid-Michigan that put on a show - but NOTHING like this! Have to credit my father-in-law for introducing me to back yard birding & our recent discussion on murmuration that led me to your incredible video!
LIQUID GEOMETRY IN MOTION Such entrancing sheer joy and exuberance of life beautifully enhanced by the music. Pachelbel Canon in D Major is one of the most soulful and heartfelt musical pieces ever composed and performed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, that was amazing. I believe there is a greater, not force, but guide, dancing thru these birds and fish, but i cant quite understand it all, its too amazing.
The beauty in the flights of birds in the imminent migration to the south, together with the magnificence of the music of Johann Pachelbel. Thank you for this combination.
I'm so happy to hear somebody else say this is a gift from God. This is the type of thing that gives me continued faith that there is a God. I'd like to see people accomplish this with jet planes!
Nature and the wild never ceases to amaze me and overwhelm me. I seen this for the first time ever the other day whilst out walking my dogs, now I watch out for it as it truly is beautiful ❤️
I saw another video on Facebook, and I came here to see if there were others. I have to this is absolutely beautiful. Tears in my eyes while watching it. How could anyone deny the existence of God after seeing something so perfect and beautiful as this?
Me too... with all respect. I feel the same awe but do not believe in an all powerful God. Although I do spell His name with a capital letter. Not totally stupid😶😶😶
The comments from some people about this video are pathetic. This video is beautiful and with the music added, it becomes majestic. It is an orchestration of angelic beauty from nature. Wake Up ! Get Real !
I come back and watch this video from time to time when I need some peace and harmony in my life. And if I bring myself into the present moment (preferably alone wearing headphones) I can get this overwhelming feeling of love. My heart feels like it wants to come out of my chest like nothing I've felt before. Breathtaking... ..
Just imagine what a flock of passenger pigeons would have looked like! "One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and 300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds"
Himanshu Vikal Those birds (The Passenger Pigeons) are one of the best examples on how ignorat and devistating we humans are: They died from HUNT, not by disease or famine, but by humans hunting them; I mean: If one flock is filled with 3.5 billion birds, how good at destroying does one have to be to make something like that go extinct? I mean: the Dodo-birds were few (in comparison), fat and land-bound, so that's understandable, but the pigeons...
Escape for just a moment.... If you've not been lucky enough to witness a starling murmuration in person yet I highly recommend the experience :) This video is a real treat too and will tide you over until you can see one in the flesh x #tum
In person, it's really kind of scary and loud. I saw one in california when i was younger i think. it was nowhere this big. Do other birds murmer like this?
