VIDEO: Incredible footage of whales performing synchronised feeding 'spiral' to capture dinner
A videographer has captured two whales in a beautiful, synchronised swim known as ‘bubble net feeding’ to capture their dinner.
Piet van den Bemd, who has also been a photographer for eight years, recently visited Wilhelmina Bay, Antarctica, where he spotted the unusual scene.
The 28-year-old took his DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone out to scour the waters when he spotted the creatures performing their show.
He also shared the breathtaking moment on Instagram, (@pietvandenbemd), where he has over 18,600 followers and where the clip has gained over 1.3m views.

The humpback whales appear to be around 18 metres long.
Piet said: “It was a moment I absolutely will never forget.
“I have seen bubble net feeding several times before but never seen such a perfect performance.
“It is a unique piece of footage of a unique kind of behaviour!
“And all I could think about when it started is ‘keep it still, keep it steady’.
“Once I pressed stop recording, my only thought was about bringing back the drone.”
In the video shared on social media, a spiral shape of bubbles can be seen in the water.
Then, all of a sudden, two whales are spotted simultaneously opening their huge mouths to capture their dinner.
They then roll over and dive back into the water, all in perfect motion.
