Not as impressive as the European Starling murmurations, but these can be nearly as spectacular if you find a big enough flock. This flock was quite small, but I liked the effect of the slow shutter panning.

Love the sense of motion-beautiful almost abstract.

The rush when you see a flock of these little beauties in motion is quite amazing. Beautifully captured Morkel!

sweet!! this is so much better than the usual "en massed" ranks of Quelea shots that are oft portrayed. Very nice indeed!
Make your life spectacular!
