Thousands of starlings have been putting on a display above a street in Hull.

The flock of birds first appeared four weeks ago, but have since been joined by many others during their murmuration at dusk.

Sarah Richardson, who filmed the spectacle, said: "There's absolutely thousands of them."

The birds fly together in large groups called murmurations to create shapes and scare away predators.
