Starling murmuration "Together" greetings card
A starling murmuration greetings card celebrate how these birds gather together to create mesmerising swirling clouds in still winter skies. Although the reason starlings form murmurations is still a mystery, it is thought that it helps protect them from predators and allows them to exchange information about the best feeding sites. Coming together to look after one another is a message our world needs right now and one that carries meaning when this card is gifted to loved ones.
Mix and match
Front: "Together"
Inside: Blank
Back: “Starling murmurations happen at dusk above the birds’ roosting sites and just before they head to sleep, usually in sheltered woodland or a reedbed. It is thought the gatherings of up to 100,000 birds from all over Europe helps protect them from predators and allows them to exchange information about the best feeding sites. As one starling changes direction, the seven surrounding it follow and the movement ripples through the murmuration. Murmurations start to form in September and continue to gather in number throughout the winter until they are a huge mass of swirling shapes in the sky. Sadly, starlings are in rapid decline in the UK potentially due to falling insect populations and a loss of nesting sites.”

I bought this for a friend who just loves Starlings. She was so pleased with it and said it was the best card she has ever had. She now has it in a frame. Thank you Amanda

Absolutely gorgeous cards - love the image, the message, the sciencey facts, the thick matte quality of the card and the detail of the rounded edges. Bought two and then went back and bought another three... perfect for telling someone you love them and are thinking of them, especially if you can't actually be with them.

Having seen real murmurations was something I will never forget. A truly magical spectacle. So finding this card with the birds in a heart shape was a fantastic find. On reflection I wish I had got the larger size. Super card well done Agnes
