Star(t)ling
The Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award has gone to a photograph of a polar bear asleep on an ice floe. It is quite pretty and, according to the museum's director, says something important about climate blah blah blah. (yawn)
But I thought that the above image of a starling murmuration taking the shape of a giant bird, photographed by Daniel Dencescu in Rome, was more compelling. Startling even.
