Hi Mr Grumpy, Neil B is totally right, when the birds fly at lower levels, the sound of thousands of bird wings and air/friction noise makes an incredible sound. It is more than a murmur, more of a roar at this "Murmuration" here in Rutland and there are many many witnesses to this sound over...

Thanks Gareth i will give that a go! Thanks for the information Paul !
