Watch a human paraglide through a starling-filled sky

Paraglider Horacio Llorens became part of a flock of starlings to embrace his dream of flying like a bird.

Last month, the 35-year-old Spaniard and five-time aerobatic paraglidingworld champion travelled to Tondermarskenin southern Denmarkto witness the natural phenomenon called the "Black Sun." Twice a year, in spring and fall, migrating starlings from Norway and other countries surrounding the BalticSea gather andformgreat clouds of up to a million birds,creatingmesmerising dances in the sky.

Llorensflew at the heart of the flock. In video published by Reuters today, he changeddirection with the birds at every twist and turn.

He called the experience a "dream come true."

"The feeling of flying with this flock of birds was different from anything I did in my life," he said. "I felt I was part of the flock."
