RSPB Snettisham Murmuration Spectacular

Strictly speaking, according to the 'dictionary' a Murmuration is a flock of starlings, but some dictionaries say a murmuration is ....

'a large group of birds, usually starlings, that all fly together and change direction together, or the act of birds doing this'

Anyway, it happened yesterday as Sue and I where visiting RSPB Snettisham getting on towards late afternoon. We knew it was coming up to high tide and this 'pushes' the birds up towards the walkway where we could see the birds (and take photos). We had not expected to see this spectacular.

There were quite a few 'Birdwatchers' there at the time. The birds doing this were waders, and I think Oystercatchers.

This was also a chance to use my new lens a Canon 100-400mm mkii that I had bought from a friend at the camera club just a few days before :)
