On Friday 20th March, early morning, the sun shone to dazzling. By 9 am here it started to get darker and the shadows longer. By 9.30 am the birds stopped singing, the sheep stood rock still in the field over the way and I had to switch the light on. For a little while, the eerie silence of it all almost overwhelmed me and then a little while later, the sun came back, the birds sang and everything was OK again.
I love this song. Thank you for letting me share it with you.
Have a good week.

Starling Murmuration
Three or four years ago, Tom wrote a blog on Starling Murmuration and posted this video.
A similar phenomena has happened at Westbury, Shropshire, this winter. Westbury is a small village four or five miles away from where I live.There is, as far as I know, no near nature conservation area to encourage them, but something must have attracted their attention. The starlings gather on the edge of dusk, thousands of them. The formations they make are beautiful and the bird song is amazing.
