Die Formationen fliegender Starenschwärme sind immer recht beeindruckend. Alleine schon deshalb, weil die Vögel als Teil dessen nie zu kollidieren scheinen. Filmemacher Jan van IJken zeigt das in seinem kurzen Video The art of flying auf beeindruckende Weise.
The art of flying is a short film about “murmurations”: the mysterious flights of the Common Starling. It is still unknown how the thousands of birds are able to fly in such dense swarms without colliding. Every night the starlings gather at dusk to perform their stunning air show. Because of the relatively warm winter of 2014/2015, the starlings stayed in the Netherlands instead of migrating southwards. This gave filmmaker Jan van IJken the opportunity to film one of the most spectacular and amazing natural phenomena on earth.
