WE’VE SEEN SOME murmurations in our time (purely on Youtube obviously) but this video from the parish of Lackagh in Galway is among the most mesmerising.

Recorded by Lesley Joyce, the phenomenon has been happening at about 4pm every day for the past few weeks when the starlings gather above a church in the area.

Enjoy.
