A murmuration folds above the evening reeds in a broad sweep across the purple dusk sky. Thousands of small dark birds gather into a dense central billow, with a thinner tail curling upward at one end. Separate wing shapes remain visible around the outer edges, giving the flowing form a fine, restless texture.

A coral horizon glows beneath the flock and reflects in still water between the reed beds. Tall seed heads lean into the foreground while distant trees make a narrow dark line across the marsh. The wide setting leaves generous sky around the birds, connecting their changing collective shape to the calm water and low evening light.
