About 50+ European Starlings Sturnus vulgaris gather in a tree and discuss. Spooky high frequency twittering almost like radio static at times. About halfway through something spooks them and they all fall quiet, and they slowly start up again and the sound swells to full strength again.Location: Suffolk, Eastern EnglandDate: 12 Feb 2006Kit: HiMD, PCM

This sound may NOT be used in (royalty free) stock material. You can use them in a creative way as a part of an art-form, but not "re-distribute" as (royalty free) stock material. Thank you.

Only pity is that the mp3 compression dropped part of the high frequencies, but great sample otherwise
