VIDEO: These starling murmurations over Belfast are breathtaking

Carl Kinsella

You wouldn’t get this just anywhere.

RTÉ’s Wild Cities series continues tonight at 9.35pm with a feature on Belfast.

One of the things that the show will focus on is the city’s starlings, who travel in huge flocks called murmurations that group and scatter across the sky almost like clouds.

The trailer for tonight’s episode capture some of the more magnificent formations of birds that you’re likely to see anywhere in the world.

Check out the trailer below and we guarantee you’ll fancy a drive to Belfast at sunset just to see these little lads in action.
