Israeli photographer captures rare moment of starling birds

Wildlife photographer Albert Keshet captured this dramatic moment of starlings as they form a spoon in the sky.

The phenomenon captured by Israeli photographer Albert Keshet is called "murmuration", which occurs when thousands of starlings fly in flocks and create distinctive shapes, according to the BBC.

Keshet says this is one of the most impressive photographs he has ever taken.

Mr. Keshet posted this photo on social media, the image of which the birds form looks like a spoon with a bent handle.

Keshet's photos caught the attention of the famous Israeli magician Uri Geller, who had a rare spoon-bending ability. Mr. Geller even framed the photo and hung it in his museum.

Photographer Keshet captured the above images while on an early morning excursion to a location in the northern Jordan Valley, with the desire to capture images of wild plants and birds.

"When I was in the valley looking for birds, I came across a flock of starlings. I stayed there for about five or six hours, observing and following them to take beautiful pictures," he said. Keshet told the BBC.
