This is one of the biggest starling murmurations I have seen in Penzance, Cornwall. I filmed it on 20 December 2021 from the main harbour car park, and it really was a sight to behold.

As the light began to fade, thousands of starlings gathered over the town and the harbour, moving together in shifting patterns that filled the sky. The sound of their wings and the changing formations created a sense of rhythm and flow that was hypnotic to watch.

Filming conditions were calm, and the sunset added a soft glow behind the birds as they moved. Watching the murmuration unfold, it was impossible not to be impressed by the coordination and beauty of it all.

Penzance has become one of the best places in Cornwall to witness these winter displays, with the starlings often returning to the same roosting spots year after year. This particular evening was one of the most spectacular, and a reminder of how extraordinary nature can be when seen up close.
