Hello Mary
Thanks for this sharing. I have seen a number of Starling bird murmurations over Yate, south Gloucestershire where I dwell set against a lovely pink sky. Aerial ballet, par excellence. No need for ATC here. The choreography is without rehearsal and no collisions.
I think, maybe wonder, if that which you have captured in your photo was perhaps the same here?
Have a look a look at this! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-hereford-worcester-46711692/starlings-form-bird-shaped-murmuration-at-attenborough
