I saw this recently near Blackpool North Pier. It's a really amazing spectacle. I couldn't believe how most people just walked by and didn't even notice.

Yes, it's one of nature's best free shows. Kate

Me and my wife saw this for the first time on Easter Sunday at Langdon Beck in Teesdale. we are going back this weekend to video it.

While this is one of nature's best free displays, it surely says something about the dexterity of God's hand.

This is absolutely wonderous! Was looking for a Spiritualized clip from Kendal and this came up, happily. How utterly mesmerising, and inspiring. Thanks for this, very much.

We had flocks like this for two years across the street from us. They like to roost in 10 foot high fir trees here- and would swarm in late December to almost March. The flock was estamated at 1/4 million to half a million by the local extention agency. Amazing to watch- over a half mile wide area these swarms would work unitl settling in a area of about an acre. Thanks for posting. (from Corvallis, Oregon area.)

So nice of you to share. It is fun and amazing to watch the birds create aerial art.

This is a great little movie : I watched this too at Westhay Moor on the Somerset Levels near Glasto in February this year & it was spectacular
