Alliteratively speaking, I suggest 'a
sussuration of starlings' while they are on the wing.

Around
8.30 this morning there were several hundred starlings on
powerlines crossing Molongolo Reach and into Jerrabomberra
Wetlands. A few minutes later many were flocking high over the
wetlands in response to the appearance of a raptor..(falcon?) and
formed a mobbing swarm. Attached poor snap (v. long distance, poor
overcast light) gives an impression of the interesting encounter.
The mobbing lasted several minutes and ended with the
disappearance of the raptor. ..
