After all the amazing photos you take of nature and how you get see it's awe and mystery and creativeness first hand I am suprised that you are suprised by this video.

yes but photos are not strictly related with birds, when I've seen this video was surprised.

The bit I find most impressive is that the way they fly makes it sound like there's music being played.

No, that's actually what it sounds like when they flock. It's how classical music was invented back in the 1920s.

Are you not surprised by this video?

No, it's pretty common. They do it all the time down here, although in smaller numbers:

I counted them- took me a while but I did it.

There are 78,419 different birds in that video. I thought there were 78,420, but on closer inspection one of them was a rogue Poundland plastic bag.

And at the end fortunately heavy snowfall....

in southern switzerland, fortunately because ski-stations must open and until we had a lack of snow. Only from midnight in the mountains locally almost 80 cm snow on the ground. on the other side some problems because it's snowing on the motorway too.

What a stunning fence.

Ahleckz · 7 Dec 2011 at 12:47

The artistic flair on the motorway lines is breath taking.
