There are murmurations and there are murmurations...

Thousands of wading birds form a murmuration as they fly onto dry sandbanks during October's highest tide at the Was Estuary, near Snettisham in Norfolk, Britain   Some bird species, such as Starlings, can fly perfectly in a murmuration (a large flock of of birds flying closely together without touching each other), while other species try to, but with varying degrees of success.   Less intuitive and unskilled bird species can crash into and injure each other while trying to fly in large, tight, swooping formations.
