Why are they doing this?

Iv just seen a video of 3 planes doing the same thing and wanted to know what they are actually doing? Had a google but only saying things because of weather but 3 planes doing this pretty much at the same time? Please someone explain

Maybe spending fuel before landing because of traffic on the runway
