Tens of thousands of starlings looked as though they were on military manoeuvres when they put on a spectacular display close to the biggest Army base in the country.
The early evening aerobatics, known as a murmuration, have been happening above a drainage pond beside the A1 in Catterick, North Yorkshire.
Fred Watson, from Northallerton, said: “I thought it was great, the clouds, the shapes and how they come in – lovely, super.”
“It was the first time I have seen starlings roost on the floor, and the numbers were immense.”
