The phenomenon, known as a starling murmuration in English or “black sun” in Danish, lasts just minutes, or even seconds.
But it left a lasting impression on Danish photographer Søren Solkær, who first witnessed the spectacle when he was 10 years old.
“The first thing that came to mind was starling murmurations … this big piece of calligraphy in the sky,” he told CNN.
Solkær’s latest photobook, “Starling,” published last month, charts this migration journey, and with it, he hopes to inspire a closer relationship with nature.
In Rome, Solkær included architecture in his compositions.
