ULTIMATE MURMURATION - PEREGRINE HUNTS STARLINGS IN ROME - EARTHFLIGHT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2012
- 5 million starlings stream into Rome every winter evening. They form some of the most mesmeric aerial displays to confuse and avoid a peregrine falcon on the look out for his evening meal.
Earthflight (Winged Planet) uses many different filming techniques to create the experience of flying with birds as they reveal some of the greatest natural and man-made monuments of the planet.
Clip taken from the 'Europe' episode of Earthflight (Winged Planet). You can download this episode or the whole series on iTunes in the UK at:

Starlings are amazing birds and what they can do ...mimic , talk , and most of all stay together for protection .A lesson there for all of us ..
I would rate it under the top 10 of most incredible things on earth
One of your top 10 most incredible things on earth happens in my field and my yard every day and I call it a nuisance. They eat everything, shit everywhere, and spread disease. Go team Falcon!!
Don't you just love clicking on a video and hearing David Tennant's voice? :)
can't even imagine how you could film something like this let alone the close ups but hats off to you it's an amazing piece of footage
Sometimes I like to call European starlings "flying anchovies" because their flocks remind me of schools of anchovies that live in the ocean. Those fish can form into massive, wavy formations too.
Beautiful
The symphony in the background when it tries to hunt simply amazing footage
Anything that can outmanoeuvre a Peregrine in the air deserves to fly free.
I'm surprised that the falcon didn't grab one of the starlings. Their formations and maneuvers are amazing.
what a wonderful world
Stunning!
An absolutely amazing ,stunning display and all that some people get from it is talking about bird poop. I pity them .
lol it is amazing but they are 100% right about the poop, imaging standing beneath and you hear the sound of 'rain', except it is not rain.. that is the reality! lol
beautiful.
This is fantastic!
amazing.. did i see jonathan flying upside down... fantastic.. shivering
Awesome, !
Oh my gosh different colors... amazing ✌️❤️
stunning
Fantastico!
amazing
It's amazing
Very nice compilation and educational film!
BBC produces some amazing footage. You can check out their channel for more footage of their series "Earthflight".
FANTASTICO!!!
I saw this spectacle in Cordova, Spain over the Gudaquilvir river. Natures wonder.
I will never understand why ppl hate those amazing aerial shows, I don't have Starlings in my country, and I wanna see one of those beautiful things of nature in person.
I like it so much
ज़बरदस्त .. बेहतरीन
That's so amazing 🐦👍
BELLISSIMO, mi piace moltissimo grazie di ♥
*Thank u @JohnDownerProd* for uploading this; PBS & Nature series ( EARTHFLIGHT ) folks have not only removed it from their website.. they've apparently scoured the web to remove it, i.e. I searched & could not find it *anywhere but here*
I'm always back to this video to see it!
It gives me inspiration to write about one's action on thousands of innocent beings! Humans also do this!
Wow graet video!!
wow amazing
Dosa apa tuh? Bad sign..
nice
¡impresionante! He tenido oportunidad de verlo en directo en Roma. También las Gaviotas los cazan al anochecer, en la pza Largo di Torre Argentina.
They make the various fighter jet display teams look like amateurs.
Thumbs up if you also think that having David Tennant as narrator is just simply "Brilliant" :P
*Good for that flying hungry falcon. I guess it couldn't catch any of the of the beautiful starlings up in the sky.*
They say this is caused by the falcon and is a defense mechanism. I think they are just doing their thing and the falcon tries to snag a meal and cant. They would do it regardless.
yeees
Wow....
nice murmuration ... who plays the background music?
"As soon as the child learns the word for a bird, the child stops really seeing the bird"
who is this referencing?

The prodigious thing is that they can turn 90 degrees very quickly, that puts them safe from other larger and faster birds.
I used to work at an old builders yard and in the evenings you'd have huge swarms of them above the yard as the sun went down
John Downer Productions:: I am reaching out in behalf of Grace United Methodist Church in Rockford, I’ll. Could we use a small clip of this video in our service this week. Thank you or the great video, nice work!
سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إلاهَ إلا الله والله أكبر
Dat is ( 1 ) help van
( ALLAH SOPHANAHO WATAALLAH ) voor de algmaene mensen in de world dat is en help MASHAH ALLAH SOPHAN ALLAH Wat is blangraijq wat zee doen
( SOPHAN ALLAH WALLAHO AKBAR )
I thought it was cool because I like all three as well and wouldn't have even seen your post if it wasn't for the hater above ;)
How do you film this - perplexed?
2.09 ... Wish I could do that ..wow
@HollosiJ Agrreee. They nest in the U.K. in houses all the time. The ones in the video may be specifically Siberian Starlings. If there is such a thing, although BBC nature documentary's have been declining in quality & in accuracy/careful wording. I think Dave's retired :*(((
You would think bait balls of anchovies would do this as well to avoid the tunas and swordfish.
holy birds
👍🐦💞
They sound like waves
wow this blew my mind i never knew that something so tiny can out run a peregrine falcon. the peregrine is my favourite i wish a had one for a pet.
please tell me why you would want a 'wild' bird for a pet ..? Cat , or dog maybe but birds are meant to fly free ...
Also you need to learn Falconry before have a Bird of Prey
While its top speed approaches 200 miles an hour as it falls from the sky it's horizontal speed is about 100 miles an hour or less and it is difficult for it to catch up to pigeons horizontally.
The match up of prey and predator is extraordinary. Nature finds a way over millennia.
I have read Garter snakes endemic to the colorful salamander in the Santa Cruz Mountains near San Francisco Ca can usually tolerate their poison and that not because the poison isnt harmless.
That snake that is usually not part of that salamanders habitat can be easily harmed by the toxin.
It's kind of like alcohol tolerance. It's never NOT toxic but the human body can so quickly convert it to less toxic breakdown molecules. One of those intermediate breakdown molecules must be converted even faster or one gets the Antabuse reaction turning flush and not feeling well. This can happen in the genetically predisposed and it can happen is coadministered with another molecule that inhibits that intermediates conversion, eg, after using the antibiotic Flagyl with alcohol.
In these compromised people, a tiny amount of alcohol can make one feel and look awful but it is NOT an allergy or immune hyper maladaptive response.
This is very interesting when we consider hunting and gathering of foods that degrade and yield alcohol.
It's selective. Only certain animals want more and certain ones want no more of it.
One man's pleasure in another man pain. Good? Bad?
Not so.
That's just the way it is, and there are impressive reasons needing respect before mixing things up together or "developing" and "improving" or ignoring them.
this in 4K!
Is it ok if I use this for a video? Without sound?
Let's be honest, the background music was not there in real life, or was it?
The Birds
next
what movie
hi
C Est comme lis nous disent adieu
سبحان الله
I wouldn't want to be walking under those birds without a hard hat and an umbrella ~
(أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ (19) .
19. Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Gracious (Allâh. Verily, He is All-Seer of everything.
5 million starlings do all that to avoid one Peregrine? Yeah, right.
It is to give praise to our Almighty God Jehovah, he is the creator of all the beautiful birds on our planet.
They do it anyway. Maybe the falcon was playing aswell?
For every starling killed on Europe we have about 200,000 more we would be glad to ship back to you.
We'll glad swap for all the pesky American grey squirrels
reminds me of an old hitchcock movie
Ah, so that's what Apparation looks like irl.
crazy i did this for a test and got 100%
I never can understand why in these sorts of shows everybody seems happy the predator loses out. There are 5 million of them, for heaven's sake. And they're starlings. Not exactly an endangered species. Poor falcon goes hungry.
Those are the breaks.The Peregrine falcon is the fastest bird on earth,so it won't go hungry for long.A bird that does over 250mph will find another bird to catch and eat.
I know this is a really old comment but I was just thinking about this subject earlier today. Recently I watched 2 videos which had different effects on me because of how the footage was presented. In one I was really happy when the bird (a petrel) did not get its prey (a baby penguin). Not long after I saw another video in which a starving polar bear was trying to catch a baby walrus but he was unsuccessful, injured in the attempt and laid down to die. I desperately wanted him to catch his prey. It made me think, if the wildlife film had been following the petrel and showing its starving chicks and its desperate hunt for food, would I have felt differently? Of course I would; it's about the presentation and although this is probably not the best example because who doesn't adore penguin chicks, it's easy to see how one would feel differently had it been presented from the petrel's point of view.
Now, this is such an old comment I probably will never get any feedback but felt compelled to write it anyway. I was just really surprised at how different I felt when it came to the starving bear when normally I hate to see any animal killed in nature even though I completely understand that's the way of things.
@@Tismesue Feedback.
@@soulreaperichig0 Haha, thank you 😁
I'm glad the falcon and hawks loses out on his meal. Poor falcon my butt, he'll find another meal.
Sí se callaran se oiria mucho mejor el murmullo
Unos 5.000.000 estorninos revolotean en Roma todas las noches de invierno.
Ellos forman parte de las más numerosas exhibiciones aéreas
para confundir y evitar el foco de atención de un halcón peregrino para su comida de la noche .
they are 5 millons and he's just 1 , the question is way they don't attack him?
O G its not in their nature.
@@lisasaddler7300 If you have ever fed them and seen a mouse appear,they attack it like there's no tommorow.Crows chase after Hawks,eagles and if a owl is out in the daytime they chase it to,while screaming like crazy.Your right,there just not wired for an attack.That type of falcon is the fastest bird on earth and can do 250mph+.If attacking worked,they would.Fish use the same defense and I have seen it myself.Some actually get killed and eaten but the largest number are unharmed.The predators travel in packs typically so it is different.Still,join together helps to confuse there predators too.
What God has done good.
YES :-) !

What good has god done?
Fixed it for you.
GOD is GREAT!!!!
one movement of one Starlings give sginal to seven of its neighbours starling its look like has special sound on its wing like pigeon when take off in emergency. they react ten time faster than any human pilot this only Starlings not swift and other faster
Thats like 15.5M birdz
78
Skorce
I've seen this with crows
I'm only here for school I would never go out of my way to watch something like this...
It looks like one giant bird at 0:28
I'm not going to stand under that
THATS ALOT OF FUCKING BIRDS
Just like the shoals of fish.
0:15
falcon failed?
The big boys don't always win even though they think they are the best ..Some politicians take note :)
My husbands male English tippler pigeon out maneuvered a peregrine. My husband watched the ducking and diving he thought he had been killed. 10mins later he saw him flying low around the loft. He landed in the garden, his heart was beating fast he was panting, but he survived healthy and alive with not a single feather missing. His name is Falcon now. 6th
When your stuck in Itachi's genjutsu
why can't those mice do pretty performances?
I hunt starling with a falcon
Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them? None, except the Merciful holds them. Surely, He sees all things. (19)
a good comment will be something like this! holy fucking shit the falcon still wanna eat em !
Just take a birdshot out there, peregrine. I'm sure you could get quite a few out of that cloud.
I'd be afraid of getting shit on.
Chelsea Legg when you get married it happens almost every day
Siberia???I think they remain in Europe and don't go that far.
IE anybody? :)
300 dropped dead in Netherland city after 5G test they also cant breed in urban areas where emf is over 40000 mw/m2 each smart meter and wifi is 100000 mw/m2 phone mast 40=80000 are the implications becoming obvious
