Watch one of nature’s greatest displays…
The starling murmuration over the reed beds at Snape Maltings is one of the most stunning wildlife experiences in the UK. An ever-changing, undulating cloud made up of thousands of birds can be spotted at the autumn around dusk.
Believed to be a signal to neighbouring starlings, attracting them to the area so that they can roost together, murmurations also provide safety in numbers from prey: since it’s harder for individual birds to be picked off when they form one huge, daunting swarm.
