A UK wildlife photographer has captured a flock of birds—which seem to fly in a formation resembling a bird.
Robin Morrison was amazed to see the murmuration of dunlin, a small wader bird, when he visited the River Parrett in Somerset on Tuesday, Jan 24.
“It was great to see these shapes in a large flock of dunlin,” he said.

Morrison says dunlin feed in the mud in Bridgwater Bay and along the muddy banks of the River Parrett.
However, on a high tide, the mud is covered and large flocks amounting to thousands of birds group together and fly around waiting for the tide to turn.
“These images were taken at dawn just as the high tide reached its peak,” Morrison said.
