No, not about any rumours that might be going around, a murmuration is - apparently - the collective name for starlings. They can also been known as a filth, though you can see that this might be less flattering to them.
So I took my camera last week to get some shots of them over the reed beds here on the Somerset Levels and though I had less hits than misses, I was lucky with the colour of the sky with the setting sun and am quite pleased with one or two. The mild winter has meant that only a million and a half are nesting at Shapwick this year, compared with the six and a half that were holidaying with us last year but they were still a brilliant sight.
