Sometimes you don't need words, just watching nature is enough. The clip below was taken on a not very bright day on the 2nd December when the tide was out on the Torridge Estuary. A murmuration, but not Starlings, however we enjoyed watching the flock rise and swirl up, up, down and around then quite a while. I have since found out that the birds were Golden Plover. Are they making a stop on their migration or over-wintering here
The Torridge Estuary is a haven for migrating birds but I haven't seen a flock this large before. In November I saw three Cormorant, each sitting on their own rock spot, four Egret, several gulls and a flock of Redshank
swirling over the Skern. Scroll down for video clip....click through to YouTube if you want to watch on full screen....relax and enjoy.

For the Record, Life on Lockdown Covid19 Day 254
It's the first day of December, Covid19 Lockdown Day 253 not the brightest of times as we are in our second lockdown since March but there have been some fantastic skies, vibrant sunsets and awesome cloud formations. Thank goodness for nature bringing us some joy in these difficult times.
Local walks and beaches have been heaving over the Summer so most days I have been restricted to watching the wildlife through my window and the garden.
Our resident hedgehogs have not visited for over a week, I have still left water at the door just in case. I am happy to say we have had hedgehogs in the garden for over twenty years and for the past couple of years have had a Trail Cam to capture their nocturnal pursuits.
I could hear the Robin singing his heart out, but couldn't see him.....you've got to love nature's way of hiding in plain sight.
