EDITORS COMMENTS

The image showcases a breathtaking display of nature's synchronized artistry as thousands of Common starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) gather together before roosting. As if choreographed by an avian maestro, these social birds create a mesmerizing spectacle that leaves us in awe. With wings outstretched and bodies closely knit, they form intricate patterns against the dusky sky. It's as if they have transformed into living brushstrokes painting an ever-changing masterpiece. The sheer number and unity of this flock is astounding! These European vertebrates exhibit their remarkable ability to work together harmoniously for survival and protection. Their collective intelligence shines through as they navigate gracefully through the air with precision and grace.
