Quelea birds are common in South Africa and one sees a small 'swarm' moving across the grasslands.
What you see here is many swarms of quelea birds coming together!
David Fisher explains this phenomenon to LatestSightings.com:
“Our lodge, in Madikwe, had become a nesting ground for all swarms in the vicinity!”
“Our ranger told us to be ready for a swarm of quelea”
“Almost to the minute, swarms of Quelea from all sides started arriving from all directions.”
“The camp came alive, you could not walk anywhere. It was so vibrant that even the trees felt alive.”
“We woke up early to see if the birds were still flying around. And they were!”
“At 06:15 one swarm took off in flight towards the waterhole. Instantaneously, every bird roosting within our camp took flight.”
“Within minutes of the event starting, it came just as quickly to an end.”
“Every of the bird flew off in their group and left the scene”
