I happened upon a large flock of corvid gathering on a nearby roof. In the moment I thought to experiment with a long exposure shot to capture those in flight circling above.

That is really cool!
I took video the other day off a huge flock by our house. It's 16 minutes long and there are birds everywhere. I love it when they stop by, especially the sound they make when a large group takes off at once - "whoosh".
I'm grown to hate them honestly: since weeks, bigger and bigger flocks dominate the skies around my home, going tree to tree like locusts. I bet they are the reason why I don't see many other birds around - but I might be wrong and don't know anything about seasonal and avian fauna behaviors...
