Black Sun

During the spring in Danish, at approximately one half hour before sunset, flocks of birds European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), whose numbers could reach more than a million gathered from various parts come together to form amazing formations. This phenomenon is often called the Black Sun, and can be found in early spring along the marshy land in the Danish part of the west during the months of March to mid April. These birds migrate from the south and spend the day in the pastures looking for food and sleeping in the grass at night.
