Starlings flocking over water, one of the most spectacular sights of flocking/schooling behavior in the animal kingdom.
In related news, today I learned: A group of starlings can have many collective nouns, most of them surprisingly negative despite this beautiful display. They include a “constellation”, a “filth”, a “murmuration”, a “scourge”, or a “vulgarity” of starlings.
