Small version of an 80Mp file from my OM-1.

Shot on the (very slippery) rocks at Kilve in Somerset, UK and cross processed in Lightroom.

I always enjoy working on images to realise my vision of a scene.

A follow up to my murmuration picture from a few days ago: here is a picture taken 15 minutes before 'the main event' when clouds of Starlings were flying in from all directions to join the flock.

It is estimated that birds fly in from a 15-20 mile / 25-40km radius each day to roost in the safety of the reeds.

A Marsh harrier, hovering over the reeds at dusk on the Somerset Levels.

Marsh Harriers are raptors of wetlands, typically seen flying low oveer marshes. In summer breeding colours the males have dramatic white / straw coloured wings with black tips.

My photo guests were delighted to see nearly 500,000 murmurating Starlings forming a giant bird over the Somerset Levels this week.

Murmurations usually run from November through to February each year and can be found around the UK. The Somerset Levels, (wetlands) to the west of Glastonbury are one of the best known locations.
