This is the spectacular moment thousands of birds in a murmuration formed the shape of a giant dolphin.

The creatures were seen in the mesmerising aerial display across the pale blue sky over the tranquil sea in Dongying, Shandong, China, on December 8.

Footage shows the flock forming the silhouette of a giant dolphin, or a whale, as they moved gracefully through the air.

The bird then shifted, transforming into the shape of a colossal snake hovering slowly above the land.

A bird murmuration is a synchronised aerial display often seen in species like starlings. The fascinating behavior is thought to provide protection from predators and help birds communicate or locate roosting spots.
