This is a bit random, but my friend Aki sent a link to this video my way and there was something so beautiful and magical about it that I had to share. I hope it inspires you, like it inspired me!

I love it when the birds do that, it’s like they are dancing and playing tag all at the same time, but I’ve never seen such a LARGE group like that! Amazing!

I read in the comments that it took place in Ireland!

I already saw this, and then, family and I went to Chincoteague VA for a week at the cold beach and saw the same thing! Grandson was entranced!

the birds do this above our houses every autumn/winter for weeks. They start around 4pm every evening (how on earth do they know the time?!?!?! and don’t bump into each other!!!). It’s an amazing sight and people travel a long way to come and see them. I am in Scotland. It’s beautiful to watch. thanks for sharing this video…
