A breathtaking, otherworldly photograph by @INPHOjames on the front page of the @irishtimes. He spent several months and dozens of fruitless visits trying to capture a murmuration of starlings. Perseverance has its rewards.

It only had that shape for a moment, as the YouTube vid above shows.

17. and how weird that a novel I'm reading today...

mentioned a murmuration of starlings. The hell are the odds of that...

18. My wife doesn't believe it's real

Says it's too perfect not to have been photoshopped.

[soothsayer]

19. Did she look at the video above? It's momentary

[Martin Eden]

20. I'll check it out

But I really didn't have doubts myself.
