Having seen two local people post videos of murmurations around Cardiff over previous weeks I thought I’d keep my eyes on the skies and attempt to see my own murmuration in real life!
A few days down Cardiff Bay and no sighting of any birds at all but alas a wander back up the River Taff and I spotted my first murmuration right above the Brains Brewery.
I only had my mobile phone on me so began filming some video of their flight and formations whilst dusk was taking over and light levels diminishing! (Twas a Samsung Galaxy SII if anyone wants to know!)
Neil Mansfield previously captured this amazing video in Cardiff Bay – check out his Landscapes Uncovered website for more great pictures! And another one from local blogger Richard Nosworthy and the same murmuration on the River Taff.
Hopefully I will be armed with a decent camera and a zoom next time! They always look so much more impressive in real life than on camera!
Nice collection Lee and well done on your video. The one from the Bay by Neil is stunning – I’ve never managed to see them in that area myself but was aware it happens.
It reminds me of the smoke monster from Lost!
