Why are people 'flocking' to Redditch?

Crowds have been flocking to the roof of a shopping centre car park to watch murmurations of starlings.

Thousands of the birds have been returning night after night to the Kingfisher Shopping Centre car park in Redditch since January, and have attracted dozens of birdwatchers.

Justin, who runs the Life through a Lens Warwickshire YouTube page and Facebook group, described the scene as like a massive social gathering for birds.

Starlings are in the red category on the RSPB's conservation status which means their population is in decline.
