Birdwatchers were left in awe as tens of thousands of starlings created a stunning murmuration at England’s Otmoor Nature Reserve while January’s full Wolf Moon rose. The swirling, shape-shifting flock painted the winter sky in a living ballet, offering both beauty and survival. This coordinated movement helps starlings stay warm and avoid predators, as the shifting mass makes it nearly impossible to single out one bird. The rare timing with the first full moon of 2026 made the spectacle even more unforgettable.
