Enjoy watching it

Excellent!
But I had to turn the awful music track off!

Amazing video.

Pity about the 70s porn movie music. I'd have preferred the sounds of the birds over that racket.

Superb - many thanks!

Saw something a bit similar on Lake Malawi - only they were black flies that all seemed to hatch at once in their billions and rose from the lake surface in a huge black cloud. The locals caught them in nets and made fly patties, cooked on hot stones. I have to admit I wussed out on trying one...............

Amazing video.

Pity about the 70s porn movie music.

I was too engrossed in the action to notice the music

Same here... never noticed the music let alone identify it as 70's porn movie music...

Its beautiful watching the patterns of birds swirling. Amazing!

 

[Nonsuch]

Beautiful. I quite liked the music too. I haven't watched any 1970s porn so can't judge

 

[Elines]

Never seen that on such a grand scale - thanks Steve

 

[Shewie]

Nice one Steve, I've seen them a few times but I had no idea what they were called

Cheers for the vid
