Dancing flocks of starlings were spotted near Anapa

A unique natural phenomenon - dancing flocks of starlings - was recorded on a farm near Anapa. Several flocks of birds gathered into one and dynamically circled above the ground, depicting various figures.

Local residents managed to film this phenomenon. The photos appeared in social networks.

IA KrasnodarMedia explains that the natural phenomenon is called murmuration, in which many birds form huge flocks and move as a single organism, changing direction. From the ground, one can observe the birds forming a variety of geometric shapes.

Experts explain the dancing of starlings by several factors. In particular, defense against predators, attracting relatives and searching for food. However, the exact cause of this behavior of birds is not, as this phenomenon could not be explained even with the help of complex computer models.

The Agency writes that earlier murmuration was noticed by residents of Novorossiysk. Dancing of birds took place against the background of sunset.
