Hundreds of stars form a BIRD as they wake up and cross the skies in a mock murder
- A group of stars put on an impressive show in Kettering, Northamptonshire
- Hundreds of birds would wake up and whistle to create several amazing patterns
- Roland James, 40, saw a bird show, featuring a bird shape
This is an amazing time as hundreds of stars move together to form a bird.
Roland James, 40, filmed the murder in Kettering, Northamptonshire, as the stars woke up and twisted across the skies on Monday.
He captured the film just days after another flock of aquariums formed the shape of a large bird across an Irish lake.

In Mr James’ s clip the birds can be seen going through in different directions to create attractive patterns before being packed tightly together to create more intimate silhouettes.
As they swim in the sky, the stars gather and form a bird shape, which is a delight for spectators.
The large herd then appears to have filled all the skies and spread out over Mr. James’ head.
He said he went out around 5.30pm one afternoon after several people said they saw a local murder.
The exact spot became clear to him when he saw an area of land – and parked cars – covered in bird droppings.
Mr James said: ‘I saw similar pictures on television but it was amazing to see.
It grew and grew and as the light faded their silhouettes darkened and depending on which direction they flew most appeared denser and denser. , before spreading out again and literally filling the skies. ‘
Curiously to get a glimpse of the murders that other Kettering residents had witnessed, he crossed the road and was enthralled by the sight.
The birds swam in the sky above his head, forming smaller groups before coming together and filling the skies.
At first about 40 birds flew together before another group of 20 joined them in sight.
‘For about 20 minutes this continued until the sky was full and so that anyone with sense could take shelter,’ said Mr James.
The sound of their droppings coming down was audible, like the huge raindrops that came before the storm. ‘
At the time he said that one of the pictures they had created looked like a duck and at the same moment another young girl shouted ‘it is a duck for its mother.
On Tuesday photographer James Crombie captured a large bird – shaped murmuration over Lake Ennell, Co. the North West.

Mr Crombie and his friend Colin Hogg had been keeping an eye on the stars for weeks as they tried to find the perfect spot for shooting the stunning photos. Mr Crombie told the Irish Times that he had already created an ‘image in his head’ that he wanted to reproduce.
Mr Crombie had made about 50 trips to Loch Ennell in the hope of catching the murder.
He and friend Colin Hogg had been looking for the stars for several weeks in an attempt to find the perfect place to shoot the pictures.
In December, Hannah Farah saw a flock of birds forming a duck shape.
She was visiting RSPB Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve, near Castleford, West Yorkshire, with her father, Peter Lau, and her children, nine-year-old Sonny and ten-year-old Kinza when the sky was held. .
Coming together protects the stars from predators like hawks that find it difficult to target a single bird in a pack of miles.
Drugs also congregate to keep warm at night and to communicate.
Star numbers in the UK have fallen by more than 80 per cent in recent years meaning they are now on the list of most endangered birds.
MYSTERY MURMURATIONS
Little is known about why murders occur, although it has been said that the shows help stars by harassing predators.
Each bird is like the movement of its neighbor, who goes out into the whole flock.
In 2014, a research team from Warwick discovered that it is the areas of light and dark in the flocks that allow the stars to fall so close together.
It is the pattern of light and dark, created as the birds try to achieve the required density, that provides vital information to individual birds within the herd.

Black-tailed deer are smaller, with a short tail, pointed head and triangular wings.
From a distance they appear black, but nearby they are very glossy with a layer of purple and green.
Even though the species remains one of the most common garden birds, its decline elsewhere makes it a red-listed species as a bird with a high conservation burden.
