 Murmuration On The Moor 

Murmuration On The Moor

As I watched the changing light I could hear the birds starting to wake from their roosts and through the mist and reeds vaguely make out several swans upon the water beyond.

Uplift your mornings and enhance your room into a stunning visual haven.

The forecast was for a misty cold morning and I knew this would provide some wonderful conditions for some atmospheric landscapes. There are few conditions that provide a more beautiful light than fog or mist combined with backlighting from sunlight.

I made my way to Shapwick Heath in Somerset, England, which is well-known for its stunning murmurations. During the autumn months, these wetland reed beds become a nesting ground for the starlings, and at dawn and dusk, they put on a mesmerizing display of nature's beauty.



When I arrived the mist was still very dense but as the sun rose in intensity the mist started to lift gracefully revealing the landscape. I captured a few images before heading towards this body of water which allowed me to shoot into the strengthening warm light of sunrise which I knew would accentuate the luminosity of the mist.



I set up my composition and waited for the mist to lift its grip from the landscape and reveal the horizon beyond.



As I watched the changing light I could hear the birds starting to wake from their roosts and through the mist and reeds vaguely make out several swans upon the water beyond.



I could have stayed there for hours it was so peaceful.
