One photograph has captured the imagination of many people in Ireland.

It’s only March and many are saying it is hands down, picture of the year!

The image captures a murmuration of birds forming into the shape of a bird over a lake in Westmeath.

The two men behind the capture of that photo joined The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to chat about the incredible moment they snapped the pic.
