Starlings over the U.K.
Check out the Guardian's gorgeous slideshow of starlings massing into huge flocks, as they usually do in the fall.
Reminds me of a video I shot in Tunisia a couple of years ago of swallows swarming around the main boulevard in downtown Tunis at dusk. The video barely does justice to the moment, as there were thousands of them flying in every conceivable direction, though thankfully only a handful of them managed to deposit any evidence on my shirt.
