PEOPLE are making a beeline for Eckington, near Pershore, to see one of the British countryside's most spectacular sights.
They have been parking in the lanes around the village to watch the birds perform their extraordinary displays in the sky.
Thousands of the birds gather at dawn and dusk at this time of year in giant flocks called murmurations.
They form spectacular shapes as they swoop around in dramatic, shape-shifting 'clouds'.
