Patel has embarked on a drone project to film a flock of sheep moving from a winter enclosure to a summer pasture near the town of Yokne'am, Israel. In January 2021, he succeeded in talking to a shepherd's family and continued to chase a flock of 1,000 to 1,700 sheep for about seven months.
There are a lot of sheep in the enclosure. Shepherds use shepherd dogs and other tools to guide sheep flock, as sheep need to be moved to summer pastures when the weather is warm.
When a large number of sheep head toward the exit of the enclosure, an organic pattern appears on the ground.
Even though the sheep seem to be moving freely ...
It gathered firmly under the shepherd.
It is spectacular to see more than 1000 sheep moving all at once.
Sometimes the flock is about to collapse, but when I see the whole flock moving in one direction as a large unit, I feel that the whole flock is a big life form.
When passing through narrow spaces, a large number of sheep look like the flow of a river.

In the end, I followed the other sheep.
After the shepherd ...
The flock follows the road in the woods. The sight of a large number of white sheep passing through the road looks like water is flowing.

Cars coming from the front of the road parked on the side of the road to avoid herds.

If you set up a drinking fountain, sheep will gather at once.
When a flock of sheep gathered together in a box that seems to contain food, a beautiful pattern was drawn on the ground.
Patel said he observed the flock of sheep in the first few times and figured out 'how the flock spreads and contracts.' After that, while listening to the shepherd's predictions, Mr. Patel flew the drone and waited for the flock to pass under it, but it was difficult to accurately predict where the flock would pass. .. Patel told the science media Live Science, 'It was very hard at first. When I thought the flock would go to the left, I went to the right. I didn't understand the logic of the sheep's movements.' increase.
This video was shot with the intention that 'the movement of a flock of sheep will be beautiful', but the footage of a flock of animals may have scientific significance. The 2018 study used drone footage taken from the air to investigate the impact of reindeer social interaction on the movement of the entire herd. Andrew Berdahl , co-author of the treatise and assistant professor at the University of Washington at the time of writing, told Live Science that Patel's footage could one day be used for scientific research.
'Playing the footage at normal speed allows you to find specific movement patterns in the flock.' 'I wasn't aware when I shot it, but people are interested not only as beautiful videos but also as data. Now I know why, 'Patel said.
