Dutch artist and photographer Claire Droppert got the show of a lifetime witnessing thousands of starlings grouping together in tight formation.
Called a murmuration, it’s when large flocks fly together in unison, creating abstract yet gorgeous patterns in the sky. Starlings take to the sky together during sunset, and their murmuration is supposedly to provide safety in numbers as they fly.
Droppert captured key moments of this amazing display, and even snapped moments where the starlings appear like cloud animals in the sky.
Below are some of our favorites, which resemble hippos, stingrays, and more.
High quality prints of these photographs are available on Droppert’s website.
