Murmuration art

Each spring and autumn, the skies in southern Denmark come to life with the swirling displays of hundreds of thousands of starlings, an event known locally as “sort sol.”

Since 2017, Danish photographer Søren Solkær has traveled Europe in search of the mesmerizing natural phenomenon of murmurations.

A starling murmuration is a beautiful sight if you're lucky enough to see one in the wild. The birds flock together creating a hypnotising, synchronised cloud, that changes shape as the birds swoop and dive. Scottish artist, Dougie Harley who is now based in London is inspired by his love for all things nature to create these incredible Starling murmurations.

There are a few good reasons why you should go about getting in touch with a photographer before using his or her work. Even if they're okay with blogs
