The photograph was captured by a photographer named James Crombie, whose picture took over the internet and left the netizen awestruck and at the same time amazed by the creation of god. The massive group of birds when formed that bird-like formation, it was something that was too real to believe at first sight. But, it was as real as us. The Pictures might confuse us, but they have every ounce of truth that could be and are more simple, intense, and awestrucking and inspiring.

This stunning beauty captured by James Crombie, showed the world a giant group of starling birds in the size of a giant bird as he flew over a lake in Ireland.

The picture was taken on March 2nd; Ennell Co. showed a flock of stars flying above the loft.  Near Westmeath Mullingar town. The manner they were synchronized and flying formed a huge bird figure which is also visible on the waters below.

While talking about the picture, the photographer shared that he had to visit Lough Ennell almost about 50 times to find the right place to take pictures. James also captured some videos in which birds can be seen flying over the lake.

Crombie told the Irish Times-

“I’m usually a sports photographer, so for a while, I have a little time to think about other things. I could see that they were making shapes. I was going back, the image that was going on in my head. I was in to get it.”

James Crombie’s works have recently been recognized. He was named as the Press Photographer of the Year by the Press Photographers Association of Ireland.

How come he shifted his interest? Well, he shared that for photos of the birds, he started the adventure after he received a tip from his friend about birds forming extraordinary shapes in the sky.

He said-

“A friend of mine, Colin Hogg, lives near the lake, and he told me last year that the asterisk would make a great picture. They nest in the forests around the lake, and they move every four or five days, towards sunset and when they Move they make shapes.”

He further shared that he had taken about 400 to 500 photos before finally capturing the correct photograph. In the photos, the stars are seen making a murmur.

Murmiration is the phenomenon that occurs when hundreds and thousands of asterisks fly in a coordinated pattern across the sky.
