by twistedsifter

 

“The art of flying” is a short film by Jan van IJken about ‘murmurations’, the mysterious and mesmerizing flights of the Common Starling.

In this 2 minute preview we see the constantly evolving patterns the dense swarm of thousands and thousands of birds make while in flight. The sound of so many birds is also overwhelming to the senses.

For those interested, you can pay a small fee to see the full-length, 7 minute film at janvanijken.com
