a wonderful sight which i used to see on a regular basis when i was a youngster,unfortunately for some unknown reason it dos`nt seem to happen these days.incidently,did you notice the shape of the formation?,it seems to resemble the shape of a bird,or maybe its just my eyes fooling me.

Great image Jonners, wished I'd been there to experience it with you (forget the photography!)

Wow!

I would love to see this spectacular.

There are plenty of starlings scrounging at my local Asda car park, but that's not quite the same.
