Watch Thousands of Birds Perform a "Ballet" in France

As Christopher at Colossal explains:

Filmmaker Neels Castillon was on a commercial shoot a few days ago, waiting to catch a helicopter flying into a sunset, when suddenly tens of thousands of starlings unexpectedly swarmed the sky in an enormous dance known as a murmuration. With his director of photography, Mathias Touzeris, the two filmed for several minutes capturing some pretty magnificent footage.

The resulting clip is seriously gorgeous, don’t you think? [via Laughing Squid]
