- Footage was shot over five days in Northern Serengeti
This is the stunning time-lapse that shows the migration of 1.5million wildebeest in Northern Serengeti, Tanzania.
Captured by wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas and his brother Matt, the footage was shot over five days, and condensed to just one minute.
The
incredible scenes, which show the wildebeest moving from Kenya into
Tanzania, was a finalist in the new time-lapse category at this week's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
Breathtaking: This beautiful time-lapse shows 1.5million wildebeest migrating from Kenya to Tanzania
Nature at its best: The footage was a finalist in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition
On
his blog, Burrard-Lucas explains that time-lapse was the only way in
which to properly capture the 'awe-inspiring' migration he witnessed.
'We
found that time-lapse was the only medium that allowed us to convey the
magnitude of the migration,' the photographer from Beaconsfield, Bucks,
writes.
'It shows the migrating wildebeest crossing the Mara River while moving south into Tanzania from Kenya.'
Staggering: Will Burrard-Lucas and brother Matt spent five days capturing the migration
The great migration: The herd travel over 3,000 kilometres every year
The
'great migration' is the world's largest migration of land mammals,
which sees the mass movement of wildebeest. The herd travel 3,000
kilometres every year, in search of new grazing territory in March, and
back south to give birth around October.
According
to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year entry, 10,000 wildebeest can
cross the Mara River in half an hour. It is estimated that up to 250,000
of the mammals perish during the migration every year, and the Mara
crossing is the most dangerous part of the journey.
Burrard-Lucas writes about this experience and nine other incredible experiences in his free e-book 'My Top Ten Wildlife Experiences'.
