A mesmerising starling murmuration

This is the mesmerising moment which captures one of nature's finest avian displays - a starling murmuration.

Breathtaking video footage shows the ebb and flow of thousands of starlings dipping and flying in formation during an autumnal gathering.

The birds made for a startling spectacle as they assembled over Potteric Carr nature reserve in Doncaster, south Yorks., last week.
