Starlings is an audio-visual response to a murmuration of starlings on the wetlands and reed beds of the Avalon Marshes, a wildlife reserve situated on the Somerset Levels, UK. The marshes have emerged from disused peat works, the scars of industrial extraction have been transformed into a landscape of rich aural and visual phenomena.

Most evenings from December to March it is possible to experience this phenomenon. It is an overwhelming experience; with the vast graceful patterns the birds form as they gather in their thousands from all directions contrasting with the escalating cacophony as they descend to the reed beds to roost. Through a mixture of image and sound, both abstract and real, the video attempts to evoke this dramatic natural event.
