A birdwatcher based in the UK captured the images of hundreds of starlings twisting, turning, and swooping in the sky near Appleby-in-Westmorland, Eden Valley, Cumbria, England.

"The panic is caused by a bird of prey called a sparrowhawk, trying to catch its supper. It can be seen flying in front of the starling flock in the last part of the video", says the filmer.

The footage was filmed in February 2022.
