So, why do they do it?

"We think the starlings do it for many reasons," reads the RSPB entry. "Grouping together offers safety in numbers -- predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands.

"They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas."

Kitching also shared some photos of the flock in action:
