We have a big flock here too.  No pictures usually when they are doing something cool they are a long way off and it's poor visibility.
Did have them right over the house the other day though
It's one of the wonders of the world

I've seen this before on a BBC documentary called (I think) The Private Life of the Starling.
It made Air Traffic Control at Heathrow look like they were prodding mud with blunt sticks.
