Exmoor and Starling

On the first of January I we on to Exmoor with my family for a walk, it was a lovely sunny day but it was freezing! I wanted to show Exmoor's beautiful landscape but also show the waterlogged moor from the rain we have been having. As we started to make our way home, I saw a big flock of birds in the distance and was not sure what they were until I realised they were starling! which I have only seen in large numbers on the Somerset Levels. I was able to make some nice images with nice light and I tried to get the starlings wings lit up but the sun and show the numbers of starling that were there.

Below are the results from the shoot.

 
 
 
 
 
This is my favourite photograph from the shoot with the starling performing and the sheep missing the show and looking towards me.
