Islands and Rivers: Murmuration

Islands and Rivers is a partnership of two independent film-makers: Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor Clive.
Last year they captured on film the amazing phenomenon of starlings in flight - murmuration.
You may have already seen their video as it has had a massive number of hits on Vimeo. If not, here it is (top left):

For a poetic reflection in English on this, see in the 'press' section of their website, at the end of the Guardian article, an extract from the poem 'Starlings in winter' by Mary Oliver.
