Wildlife photographer Robin Morrison spends almost every day on the coast documenting bird behaviour.
“I come every day at dawn and dusk to watch the birds. The birds gather at every sunrise and fly away at every sunset.”
– Morrison vs. SWNS
In autumn, the animals always look for a place where they can overwinter.
For several decades, starlings have chosen the coastal town of Summerset, England, for wintering.
The group currently has an estimated size of up to 100,000 animals.
Since the animals always rise in swarms, an extremely dense formation is created in the sky.
“They are staying close to public trails this year, which makes flying away a wonderful view.” – Morrison vs. SWNS
