AND

Introduction:
The control flow in a SSIS package defines the workflow for that package. Control flow determine the order in which tasks will run, it also determines under what conditions they are executed. In other words, certain tasks will run only when a set of defined conditions are met. These conditions in a workflow can be configured by using Precedence Constraints. Precedence constraints link the individual executable and determine how the workflow moves from one executable to the next.
More about Precedence Constraints:
A Constraint is a predefined conditional check in the package that can be used to link between control flow tasks. A task will only execute if the condition that is set by the precedence constraint preceding the task is met. By using these constraints, it is possible to ensure different execution paths depending on the success or failure of other tasks. This means that tasks with precedence constraints can be used to determine the workflow of an SSIS package. If the Constraint Evaluation operation is selected as Expression and Constraint, then both the expression option and Constraint value option are enabled. The following flow charts will explain the possible combinations.

In the above flow chart, Task2 will be executed only if the expression is executed successfully and the Task 1 is executed successfully.

In the above flow chart, Task2 will be executed only if the expression is executed successfully and the Task 1 is failed as the precedence constraint value is chosen as Failure.

In the above flow chart, Task2 will be executed only if the expression is executed successfully and the Task 1 is completed.

Now, to see the precedence with expressions and constraints in action, follow the below steps –
1. Add two SQL tasks to control flow editor of your project as shown in the below figure.

2. Now for each task, set the valid database connections and write the SQL query that is to be executed for each task as shown in the below figure.  To set the database connections and to write SQL query, double click on Task rectangle, the the following window will be opened. Then click on “OK” button. Similarly set the database connection and write the valid SQL query for Task1 also.


3. Now, a small arrow will be appeared on Execute SQL Task, drag and drop this arrow mark from Execute SQL Task to Execute SQL Task 1. What this does is we are setting the workflow between these two tasks. Now to set the condition checks to determine upon what constraints these two tasks execute, the precedence constraints need to be set. When double clicked on the arrow line, the following window will appear. Set the Evaluation operation as Expression and Constraint as well as the value for the constraint and click on “OK” button.

4. The control flow pane can be as shown in the below. The fx and the green arrow mark between the task 1 and task 2 denotes that task2 will be executed only when the expression is executed and task 1 is successful.

5. The result can be shown in the below picture.

6. When the supplied expression is not executed successfully or the task 1 is not successful, the task 2 will not be executed.

7. If the precedence constraint value is set to Failure and the expression is successful, the execution of task 1 and task 2 will be as follows.

Now when the task 1 fails to execute and expression is successful, the task 2 executes. If the task 1 executes successfully and expression is true then task 2 will not be executed.

 8. If the precedence constraint is chosen as on Completion and the expression as shown in the below picture.
The blue line denotes that the completion of task and the fx denotes the expression in the below picture.

If the task 1 fails or the expression is executed to false then the result will be as shown in the below picture.

If the task 1 fails or the expression is executed to false then the result will be as shown in the below picture.

This is it .. a complete detailed post on the same.. Thanks Kranthi for the beautiful doc.. Waiting for more like this ..

  3. Thai farmer forced to kill more than 100 endangered crocodiles after a typhoon damaged their enclosure
    кракен даркнет
    A Thai crocodile farmer who goes by the nickname “Crocodile X” said he killed more than 100 critically endangered reptiles to prevent them from escaping after a typhoon damaged their enclosure.

    Natthapak Khumkad, 37, who runs a crocodile farm in Lamphun, northern Thailand, said he scrambled to find his Siamese crocodiles a new home when he noticed a wall securing their enclosure was at risk of collapsing. But nowhere was large or secure enough to hold the crocodiles, some of which were up to 4 meters (13 feet) long.

    To stop the crocodiles from getting loose into the local community, Natthapak said, he put 125 of them down on September 22.

    “I had to make the most difficult decision of my life to kill them all,” he told CNN. “My family and I discussed if the wall collapsed the damage to people’s lives would be far bigger than we can control. It would involve people’s lives and public safety.”
    Typhoon Yagi, Asia’s most powerful storm this year, swept across southern China and Southeast Asia this month, leaving a trail of destruction with its intense rainfall and powerful winds. Downpours inundated Thailand’s north, submerging homes and riverside villages, killing at least nine people.

    Storms like Yagi are “getting stronger due to climate change, primarily because warmer ocean waters provide more energy to fuel the storms, leading to increased wind speeds and heavier rainfall,” said Benjamin Horton, director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore.

    Natural disasters, including typhoons, pose a range of threats to wildlife, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Flooding can leave animals stranded, in danger of drowning, or separated from their owners or families.

    Rain and strong winds can also severely damage habitats and animal shelters. In 2022, Hurricane Ian hit Florida and destroyed the Little Bear Sanctuary in Punta Gorda, leaving 200 animals, including cows, horses, donkeys, pigs and birds without shelter.

    The risk of natural disasters to animals is only increasing as human-caused climate change makes extreme weather events more frequent and volatile.

  5. Ленинградская область известна сложной геологической составом, что определяет процедуру пробивки скважин на воду особенным в каждом месте. Территория имеет многообразие почв и скрытых пластов, которые требуют специализированный подход при определении зоны и метки сверления. Подземная вода может залегать как на небольшой уровне, так и доходить до нескольких десятков метров, что влияет на трудоемкость бурения.

    Одним из основных факторов, определяющих тип скважины (https://hardstones.ru/kak-ochistit-vodu-iz-skvazhiny-ot-zheleza.html ), становится структура почвы и местоположение водного горизонта. В Ленинградской области чаще всего создают артезианские источники, которые дают доступ к чистой и непрерывной воде из глубоких структур. Такие скважины известны долгим сроком использования и отличным качеством водоносных ресурсов, однако их бурение нуждается в больших вложений и особого оборудования.

    Методы создания в регионе включает использование современных машин и механизмов, которые могут справляться с плотными породами и помогать избежать возможные обвалы стенок скважины. Важно, что всегда нужно обращать внимание на экологически безопасные требования и правила, так как вблизи части населённых городов находятся охраняемые заповедные зоны и заповедники, что диктует особый подход к буровым действиям.

    Водные запасы из подземных источников в Ленинградской области характеризуется высоким качеством, так как она скрыта от поверхностных загрязнений и содержит гармоничный состав составных элементов. Это превращает такие водоносные горизонты нужными для частных домов и заводов, которые прибегают к надежность и стабильное качество водоснабжения.

  6. Why Thailand is making it easier for travelers to stay longer
    Чат Пхукета
    Maybe you want to escape the winter months at home, opting instead to take care of your business on a laptop from the comfort of your rented Phuket villa as you gaze over the Andaman Sea. Or perhaps you’re ready to step into the ring and embark on a new career as a Muay Thai fighter.

    Either way, Thailand has you covered.

    The popular Southeast Asia destination recently introduced a new five-year visa targeted at remote workers and other travelers looking to stay in the kingdom for extended periods.

    According to a statement issued by the Thai prime minister’s office, the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) will allow eligible travelers a period of stay up to 180 days per visit, on a multiple-entry basis, within five years. (This means they will need to leave the country when their 180 days are up, and the time resets when they re-enter.)
    The government statement says the visa is open to several categories of remote workers, including digital nomads and freelancers. It’s also aimed at those looking to visit to engage in activities such as Muay Thai training or Thai cooking classes, or come for extended medical treatments.

    To apply, travelers need to show evidence that they have a minimum of 500,000 baht (about $13,800) in funds, as well as documents to support the purpose of their visit, such as a letter from a medical center or proof of employment

  8. ОПГ Владимира Колокольцева
    Неожиданный поворот в деле Бест Вей
    Как команда министра внутренних дел подставляет Президента.

    Широко разрекламированное МВД разбирательство по поводу «крупнейшей в России пирамиды», связываемое следствием с компаниями «Лайф-из-Гуд», «Гермес Менеджмент» и кооперативом «Бест Вей», вышло на финишную прямую — дело, которое вело ГСУ ГУ МВД России по Санкт-Петербургу и Ленинградской области под кураторством со стороны Следственного департамента МВД, передано сначала в прокуратуру Санкт-Петербурга, а потом в Приморский районный суд города Санкт-Петербурга для рассмотрения по существу — оно начнется 27 февраля.

    Со всеми преступлениями и правонарушениями на этом пути, которых наберется не менее двух десятков, следователи МВД смогли выйти на скромную сумму 280 млн ущерба при 221 лице, признанном следствием потерпевшими. Однако у «Гермес Менеджмент» в России много десятков клиентов, которые довольны условиями и получаемым доходом, а у кооператива «Бест Вей», незаконно признанного гражданским ответчиком по делу, — около двух десятков тысяч пайщиков, подавляющее большинство из которых считает следствие МВД нарушителем своих прав, так как в результате действий следствия они лишены возможности приобрести подобранную недвижимость и лишены возможности вернуть вложения в кооператив. Следствие заблокировало счета кооператива и запрещает выплаты с них даже на основании судебных решений, не говоря уже о том, что оно запрещает выплаты налогов и заработной платы сотрудникам аппарата кооператива.

    Следствие путем ареста имущества пытается захватить многомиллиардные активы: оно арестовало около 4 млрд рублей на счетах кооператива, пыталось восстановить арест недвижимости кооператива на 8 млрд рублей — теперь эстафету у него приняла прокурорская группа из прокуратуры Санкт-Петербурга и прокуратуры Приморского района Санкт-Петербурга. Плюс к этому следствие арестовало на 8 млрд личного имущества обвиняемых.

    Фактически речь идет о том, чтобы отдать эти средства в руки группы мошенников, объявивших себя потерпевшими. Следственная группа, судя по всему, находится в сговоре с ними, о чем свидетельствуют, в частности, написанные как под копирку, с одинаковыми орфографическими ошибками заявления от этих «потерпевших» о возмещении морального ущерба по 1 млрд рублей каждое.

    В первом, «организационном» заседании Приморского районного суда, предшествующем рассмотрению уголовного дела по существу, упоминание государственного обвинителя из прокуратуры Санкт-Петербурга об этих заявлениях вызвало смех в зале: по судебной практике моральный ущерб на сумму свыше 100 тыс. рублей удовлетворяется судами в исключительных случаях. Но эти юридически ничтожные, по сути, заявления объявляются основанием для ареста имущества.

    Жульничество с документами

    Поток преступлений и правонарушений следствия не останавливался до самого последнего дня предварительного расследования. Они были совершены при потворстве людей из команды Колокольцева, требовавших результата любой ценой.

    1 декабря Приморский районный суд вынужден был признать незаконным фактический отказ кооперативу «Бест Вей» в ознакомлении с материалами уголовного дела, а также признал, что следствие грубо нарушило УПК, не объявив в установленном порядке о завершении следственных действий. Тем самым оно нарушило права всех гражданских истцов и ответчиков на ознакомление с материалами уголовного дела.

    При рассмотрении жалобы адвоката кооператива в Приморском районном суде выяснилось, что следственная группа ГСУ, последний год формально руководимая замначальника ГСУ полковником юстиции А.Н. Винокуровым, а фактически, как и раньше, подполковником юстиции Е.А. Сапетовой, подделала документы (Винокуров был назначен в качестве «крыши», «тарана», поскольку ходатайства следственной группы в первый период расследования очень плохо проходили в судах).

    Жалоба была подана адвокатом кооператива в июле, много раз ее рассмотрение откладывалось и состоялось в декабре. Уличенная адвокатами кооператива в нарушении УПК, следственная группа составила письмо об удовлетворении ходатайства задним числом и попыталась представить дело так, что кооператив не получил письмо по своей вине. Очередная грубая работа, выявленная, как ни парадоксально, в том числе и с помощью системы электронного документооборота самого питерского главка МВД.

  10. The surprising history of the Fair Isle sweater
    How to find escorts in Geneva
    Which fashion item is as beloved by members of the royal family as it is by JLo? Or as relevant on the runways of 2024 as in the knitting catalogs of 1960? The answer is surprisingly festive. The Fair Isle knit, a two-stranded knitting tradition originating off the coast of Scotland, has been a wardrobe staple for well over 100 years — keeping everyone from 18th century fisherman to Mick Jagger warm.

    In the last five years, luxury brands Ralph Lauren, Thom Browne, Chanel, Celine, Balenciaga, Raf Simons, Versace and Dries van Noten have all sent their renditions of the heritage knit down the catwalk. London-based designer Molly Goddard has even made the pattern something of an unofficial signature, making sure to pair a structured Fair Isle-style knit with a flouncy, tulle skirt in almost every collection.

    In short, it has become a winter classic that seems perpetually in vogue. Rom-com leading man, Adam Brody, recently wore a red and white version on the cover of Stylist magazine; while Katie Holmes was snapped running errands in an old beige Fair Isle favorite from 2022.
    For those in the northern hemisphere, it’s appropriate to shrug on as soon as the nights draw in right until sweater weather deteriorates. That being said, even in season-less Los Angeles, stars like Hailey Bieber have been seen in the cozy Fair Isle knits grabbing coffees.

    Taking its name from the island of Fair Isle — part of the Shetland archipelago about 100 miles off the northeastern coast of Scotland — the knitting technique first began in fisherman’s hats during the 18th and 19th century (our beloved sweaters came much later). The two strand pattern was not only artistic, but made the tall, conical shaped caps extra warm by doubling the textile mass. They often featured a knitted interior lining, too.

  14. A brief history of sunglasses, from Ancient Rome to Hollywood
    kraken зайти

    Sunglasses, or dark glasses, have always guarded against strong sunlight, but is there more to “shades” than we think?

    The pupils of our eyes are delicate and react immediately to strong lights. Protecting them against light — even the brilliance reflected off snow — is important for everyone. Himalayan mountaineers wear goggles for this exact purpose.

    Protection is partly the function of sunglasses. But dark or colored lens glasses have become fashion accessories and personal signature items. Think of the vast and famous collector of sunglasses Elton John, with his pink lensed heart-shaped extravaganzas and many others.

    When did this interest in protecting the eyes begin, and at what point did dark glasses become a social statement as well as physical protection?
    The Roman Emperor Nero is reported as holding polished gemstones to his eyes for sun protection as he watched fighting gladiators.

    We know Canadian far north Copper Inuit and Alaskan Yupik wore snow goggles of many kinds made of antlers or whalebone and with tiny horizontal slits. Wearers looked through these and they were protected against the snow’s brilliant light when hunting. At the same time the very narrow eye holes helped them to focus on their prey.

    In 12th-century China, judges wore sunglasses with smoked quartz lenses to hide their facial expressions — perhaps to retain their dignity or not convey emotions.

  16. Carrie Underwood slated to perform at Trump’s inauguration
    kra26 cc
    Country music star Carrie Underwood is slated to perform “America the Beautiful” at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to a copy of the program obtained by CNN and confirmed by a spokesperson for the inaugural committee.

    “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement to CNN. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

    The presidential oath of office will be administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with Justice Brett Kavanaugh expected to administer the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance.

    Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States will take place on January 20 at the US Capitol.

    Underwood is a big get for Trump’s inauguration, considering Hollywood’s Trump blackout over the course of his political career.

    In his first term and throughout the past three elections, Trump has struggled to garner support from major Hollywood stars. At the Republican National Convention last year, the two biggest stars onstage with Trump were musician Kid Rock and retired WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan – a far cry from a superstar at the height of their career, like Underwood.

    The Grammy-winning artist is as high-profile as you can get in country music, not only with numerous platinum hits, but also with public-facing, mainstream business associations. Underwood is the face of Sunday Night Football and is set to make her debut this March as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol” – the singing competition show that catapulted her to fame when she won in 2005.

    While many NFL fans will likely applaud Underwood for singing at the inauguration, any time a celebrity aligns themselves with Trump, they run the risk of alienating left-leaning fans and Hollywood allies.

    Underwood has kept her politics under wraps over the course of her career. In her statement, she did not mention Trump by name and kept her focus on unifying the country – still, Underwood’s decision to publicly align with Trump is a big statement for any star, particularly one as private as the singer.

    Historically, Hollywood has always been closely associated with the Democratic Party, but country stars have always been an outlier, leaning more conservative. In recent years, as new singers join the genre, country music has gotten to be more progressive. This past election cycle, country stars like Mickey Guyton and Maren Morris stood with Vice President Kamala Harris.

  17. They’ve sailed across Southeast Asia for centuries. Now, these sea nomads are being forced to live on land
    скупка техники бу в москве
    Bilkuin Jimi Salih doesn’t remember how old he was when he learned to dive, only, that all the men in his family can do it.

    It might have been his grandfather who taught him, or his father, or even an uncle or cousin. He recalls swimming dozens of feet underwater among the reefs, collecting spider conches, abalone and sea cucumbers to sell at the local fish market.

    “One of our specialties is that, because we live on the sea and we’re always in the sea, we can dive in the water for a long time,” says Salih, via a translator. “We learn by observing, and from there, we develop our own technique.”

    To most people, Salih’s free diving skills are highly unusual; but not to his community. Salih is Bajau Laut, an indigenous seafaring group in Southeast Asia that has lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle on the ocean for centuries. Living on boats and fishing for income and sustenance, the Bajau Laut aren’t just reliant on the sea: they’re biologically adapted to it, with larger spleens that give them the ability to hold their breath for far longer than the average person.

    “We’re very comfortable in the water,” says Salih. The 20-year-old was born on board a lepa, a type of houseboat, on the shore of Omadal Island, off the coast of Semporna in Malaysian Borneo.

  19. Most flights don’t want you joining the Mile-High Club. This company encourages it
    kraken market
    In our travel news roundup this week: the rise in solo dining, where to save money at US ski resorts, plus the Californian hot-air balloon company offering a rather cheeky package.

    Your love keeps lifting me higher
    Is it getting hot in here, or is a gas-burner propelling a dirigible above our heads?

    A California-based hot-air balloon company is offering mile-high flights – with amorous Mile-High Club privileges – over the Temecula countryside.

    Guests can enjoy the views with a whole basket to themselves – and a privacy screen separating the pilot compartment from the passenger cabin.

    The pilot, who Magical Adventure Balloon Rides promises will be wearing protective hearing gear and focused solely on flying, ascends the balloon to 5,280 feet (about 1,610 meters), which is about 2,000 feet higher than a typical recreational flight.

    While intimate clinches are usually thoroughly discouraged in the skies, the company invites you to bring your own bedding and music playlist. A complimentary Champagne breakfast is included to fuel your frolics, of whatever sort.

    Pricing for two passengers starts at $1,400. If your mantra is “the more the merrier,” each additional adult in the larger 10-person basket is $159.

    The Mile-High Club flight is just one of a host of packages on offer, from wine tours to company picnics, the rest of which are considerably more family-friendly.
    All by myself
    Sometimes it can seem like the world is full of lovers floating high on cloud nine, but don’t fret if you’re going it alone this Valentine’s season: You’re bang on trend.

    Millennials and Gen Z are breaking down the stigma attached to solo dining in an era when more Americans live alone than ever before. Some do it for convenience; some do it for freedom — either way, reservations for one are on the rise.

    Once you’ve mastered dining alone, it’s time for bigger challenges, such as walking across Saudi Arabia. British explorer Alice Morrison, who has been called “Indiana Jones for girls,” is in the middle of her five-month trek of 2,500 kilometers (about 1,550 miles).

    Others are opting for a permanent adventure. Californian Jason Bennett gave up his life in San Francisco for a new home in Colombia. Today he says his happiness is “off the charts.”

    Guests can enjoy the views with a whole basket to themselves – and a privacy screen separating the pilot compartment from the passenger cabin.

    The pilot, who Magical Adventure Balloon Rides promises will be wearing protective hearing gear and focused solely on flying, ascends the balloon to 5,280 feet (about 1,610 meters), which is about 2,000 feet higher than a typical recreational flight.

    While intimate clinches are usually thoroughly discouraged in the skies, the company invites you to bring your own bedding and music playlist. A complimentary Champagne breakfast is included to fuel your frolics, of whatever sort.

    Pricing for two passengers starts at $1,400. If your mantra is “the more the merrier,” each additional adult in the larger 10-person basket is $159.

    The Mile-High Club flight is just one of a host of packages on offer, from wine tours to company picnics, the rest of which are considerably more family-friendly.
    All by myself
    Sometimes it can seem like the world is full of lovers floating high on cloud nine, but don’t fret if you’re going it alone this Valentine’s season: You’re bang on trend.

    Millennials and Gen Z are breaking down the stigma attached to solo dining in an era when more Americans live alone than ever before. Some do it for convenience; some do it for freedom — either way, reservations for one are on the rise.

    Once you’ve mastered dining alone, it’s time for bigger challenges, such as walking across Saudi Arabia. British explorer Alice Morrison, who has been called “Indiana Jones for girls,” is in the middle of her five-month trek of 2,500 kilometers (about 1,550 miles).

    Others are opting for a permanent adventure. Californian Jason Bennett gave up his life in San Francisco for a new home in Colombia. Today he says his happiness is “off the charts.”

  21. Look of the Week: Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl pants signal the return of flares

    This year’s Super Bowl halftime show was hardly a fashion extravaganza, with headliner Kendrick Lamar keeping things simple in a backwards cap and motorbike-style varsity jacket, which he kept on throughout.

    And without the costume-change roulette we’ve come to expect of halftime shows, the internet fixated on one item in particular: his jeans.

    While not quite the bell-bottoms of decades past (the 1970s and the 2000s, specifically), the Compton-born rapper’s washed denim pants flared out at the knee and dragged beneath his heels along the stage at Caesars Superdrome in New Orleans. His silhouette stood in stark contrast to that of record producer Mustard, who made a brief cameo in a pair of outsized jeans straight from the West Coast hip-hop playbook.
    Opinions were, as ever, divided on social media. Some users described Lamar’s flares as “women’s jeans” and “Hannah Montana pants,” earning him comparisons to everyone from Jennifer Aniston to country singer Lainey Wilson. Others joked that their moms were looking for a similar pair or that they nodded to millennials, for whom flares were a teenage staple.

    But those suggesting his style was outdated, or gender-inappropriate, may not have been paying attention to the recent resurgence of flares — in both womenswear and menswear. After all, Lamar’s jeans were designed by one of the most influential figures in modern fashion, Celine’s former creative director Hedi Slimane, before he departed the French label in October.

  22. Cute baby animals bring visitors to zoos and aquariums. What happens when they grow up?

    One of the best things that can happen to a zoo or aquarium is for one of their resident animals to go viral.

    Just look at the multi-hour-long lines to see Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo in Thailand who has become an internet sensation following her July 2024 birth. The sassy animal is now a full-on brand, with Khao Kheow Open Zoo selling Moo Deng merchandise and even releasing a single “by” the hippo in multiple languages.

    Meanwhile, Pesto — a baby king penguin who was eating more fish than his parents by the time he was a few weeks old — is also an online celebrity, with human stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Katy Perry stopping by to meet him.

    But what happens when these cute animals become, well, less cute? The Sea Life Melbourne aquarium has already been planning for the next phase of Pesto’s life — and answering questions from the public about his changing appearance.

    It’s normal for king penguins to lose their feathers by the time they’re about a year old and become confident swimmers. As a result, a spokesperson for the aquarium says, guests have started asking why Pesto looks different — or why they can’t find him at all.

    “We are getting a few guests thinking we have moved him off display completely,” says the spokesperson. “Most of the team’s time is spent pointing him out to guests because he looks so different now.”
    The bottom line is that cute baby animals make money.

    Admission tickets are only the beginning. Many zoos and aquariums offer special “behind the scenes” or “zookeeper for a day” packages at much higher prices. At Sea Life Melbourne, standard entry tickets for adults start at $51, while the Penguin Passport — which include a 45-minute tour of the birds’ area and a look at how their food is prepared — is $199.

    The real jackpot, though, is merchandise. Stuffed animals, T-shirts, fridge magnets, keychains, kids’ books and other branded products are a major way for zoos and aquariums to make money.

  23. ‘You get one split second’: The story behind a viral bird photo

    By his own admission, James Crombie knew “very, very little” about starlings before Covid-19 struck. An award-winning sports photographer by trade, his only previous encounter with the short-tailed birds occurred when one fell into his fireplace after attempting to nest in the chimney of his home in the Irish Midlands.

    “I always had too much going on with sport to think about wildlife,” said Crombie, who has covered three Olympic Games and usually shoots rugby and the Irish game of hurling, in a Zoom interview.

    With the pandemic bringing major events to a halt, however, the photographer found himself at a loose end. So, when a recently bereaved friend proposed visiting a nearby lake to see flocks of starlings in flight (known as murmurations), Crombie brought along his camera — one that was conveniently well-suited to the job.

    “You get one split second,” he said of the similarities between sport and nature photography. “They’re both shot at relatively high speeds and they’re both shot with equipment that can handle that.”

    On that first evening, in late 2020, they saw around 100 starlings take to the sky before roosting at dusk. The pair returned to the lake — Lough Ennell in Ireland’s County Westmeath — over successive nights, choosing different vantage points from which to view the birds. The routine became a form of therapy for his grieving friend and a source of fascination for Crombie.

    “It started to become a bit of an obsession,” recalled the photographer, who recently published a book of his starling images. “And every night that we went down, we learned a little bit more. We realized where we had to be and where (the starlings) were going to be. It just started to snowball from there.”
    ‘I’ve got something special here’
    Scientists do not know exactly why starlings form murmurations, though they are thought to offer collective protection against predators, such as falcons. The phenomenon can last from just a few seconds to 45 minutes, sometimes involving tens of thousands of individual birds. In Ireland, starlings’ numbers are boosted during winter, as migrating flocks arrive from breeding grounds around Western Europe and Scandinavia.

    Crombie often saw the birds form patterns and abstract shapes, their varying densities appearing like the subtle gradations of paint strokes. The photographer became convinced that, with enough patience, he could capture a recognizable shape.
