Starlings
Thanks Jason, facinating article.
I've been floored several times by starling flocks over the years, and as the article says, it doesn't matter how large the flock is.
There was one last year (it may still be in town) that does an amazing aerial ballet above Hastings. I've seen large globes formed the birds that
would then shift into some other amazing pattern.
