EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a dense European starling flock in Rome, Italy. As twilight sets in, thousands of these magnificent birds come together to create an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of the ancient city. The monochromatic image adds an artistic touch, emphasizing the intricate patterns formed by their synchronized flight. European starlings are known for their remarkable behavior and swarming tendencies. This passerine species, scientifically named Sturnus vulgaris, is considered one of Europe's worst invasive alien species due to its rapid expansion across different continents. However, this photograph allows us to appreciate their natural beauty and marvel at their collective movement. The sheer number of individuals within this flock showcases the power and unity that can be found in nature. Ornithologists and zoologists study such behaviors to better understand avian biology and ecology. By capturing this moment frozen in time, Science Photo Library provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of bird behavior. Let yourself be transported to Rome as you gaze upon this stunning print – a testament to both the biological wonders found in Europe and our ongoing fascination with wildlife photography.
