The majesty of nature has been captured via drone footage once again thanks to an aerial photographer in New Zealand.

Tim Whittaker managed to film hundreds of sheep being herded in a field from a perspective that leaves the animals resembling a school of fish or a flock of birds.

The breathtaking film also shows the subtle ways in which their direction can shift due to outside forces such as herding dogs.

To an on-the-ground observer, the movement of the mass of sheep may seem chaotic, but the maneuvers of the animals are revealed to remarkably harmonious when seen from above.

Eerie looking night flock.
