Murmur, a fantastic series of photographs by Richard Barnes.

I once captured a similar flock of birds flying above a hotel near my house with my video camera. They swarmed around and formed a perfect circle, and then broke off into two separate ghost-like shapes revolving around each other. Eventually they all landed in one really small tree. It was amazing. I found that tape earlier this year, and half of what I just described had been taped over.

    There are starlings that do that over the Albert Bridge here in Belfast, and it is one of the most aw-inspiring and unsettling sights. I wouldn’t want to be under them for all of the bird poop! Though some say a bird pooping on you is good luck.

    I wish that video you described still existed in its entirety :( Anyway these are really beautiful photographs. Black and white was a good choice.

    Imagine 2 massive abandoned grain elevators in no-mans land Sask. and imagine them being occupied by thousands of sparrows! Camping between them was a phenomenal experience.

    more than i would have liked to. As long as you wear a hat and don’t stare into the sky with your mouth open, you are good.
