«Breaking News» Perfectly timed picture captures the moment a murmuration of starlings took the form of a RABBIT

This perfectly-timed pictures captured the moment a flock of birds formed the shape of a rabbit in the air.

The group of starlings were seen flying in the unique swirl in the night sky at dusk. 

Starlings were murmurating - a swooping mass of thousands of birds whirling in the sky - in the shape of a hare or rabbit head at Fishlake Meadows Nature Reserve in Romsey, Hampshire.  

The starlings grouped together as a form of safety from birds of prey before they roost for the night in the water reeds, usually in the winter and autumn evenings. 

It is often described as one of nature's most spectacular displays and every time they group together the birds form different shapes and put on their unique show.

Photographer Natasha Weyers captured the moment the starlings formed the rabbit head between 3.45pm and 4pm on Monday.

She said that the photo attracted comparisons with the Richard Adams novel about a group of rabbits, Watership Down, which was adapted into a film in 1978 and was remade for the festive period this year featuring James McAvoy and John Boyega.

Natasha added: 'I was delighted to see that I had captured the birds in the shape of a Hare or Rabbit head as I love to photograph wildlife and in particular, Hares.

'When I posted the photo on Facebook, many people commented on how it reminded them of Watership Down which is on TV this Christmas.' 

It is believed starlings gather in such large numbers in order to deter predators, such as peregrine falcons. 

Last month another photographer captured a similar formation near Gretna in Scotland on his mobile phone.

The starlings appeared to simultaneously form the shape of both a rabbit and a duck, mimicking a famous shaped the birds also created in 1892.

Formations of a giant hedgehog have also been spotted in Dumfriesshire in November, while others have been seen in Cumbria and Brighton, East Sussex.  

The RSPB say the grouping together offers safety in numbers as predators such as find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands.

They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas, the charity says.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
