BHTV brings you footage of thouands of starlings as they fly around putting on dazzling displays in the Aylesbury sky.
We filmed thousands of starlings as they put on their daily display above the Bicester Road and Gatehouse industrial area of Aylesbury.
Every morning and evening the birds, known collectively as a mumuration, have been impressing motorists and small crowds that gather to watch them rhythmically swirl around the sky.
It is believed the birds could be "catching up" with each other when they gather in the skies, according to experts.
They are a mix of British and European birds and it is thought many will leave for Russia in the next few weeks.
Starling numbers have reportedly halved in the last 25 years and they are now red-listed as an endangered species.
