Is Rutland Water Starling Murmuration happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each autumn and winter tens of thousands of Common Starlings gather to perform large, shifting murmurations above Rutland Water, an internationally important wetland.
The displays form as flocks wheel and fold before settling into reedbed roosts, creating dramatic silhouettes against dusk skies.
