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.

“Bubble net feeding is when whales deliberately blow bubbles from their noses to encircle their food, krill and fish, like a net,” Piet, a polar photographer, currently located in Antarctica, told What’sTheJam.co.uk.

“Concentrating their prey into a tight ball.

“Then, the whale or group of whales swim together from beneath, rise to the surface opening their mouths, and gulp up their prey.”

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.

“Ocean wonders. Witnessing the mesmerising dance of two humpback whales engaged in synchronised bubble net feeding. Nature’s perfect collaboration unfolds beneath the waves,” the post was captioned.

The footage was originally shot in December and has since gone viral online.

It has so far gathered 73,400 likes, as well as over 1,000 comments from fans.

Lucy said: “Mesmerising patterns and wonders can be seen through the universe, this is truly magic!”

Dune commented: “This is beautiful.”
