Pictures: Scarecrows take over Yorkshire village
- Published

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It's a scarecrow pilot...

Around 100 scarecrows have taken over the village of Kettlewell in the north of England, including this royal pair!

Scarecrows of all shapes and sizes draw crowds from all over the country to see the creations dotted all over the village.

All of the villagers pitch in to help make the scarecrows; we love these glittery versions of super seventies pop band Abba!

The builders of this guy seem to have forgotten the straw! Don't think he'll be keeping many birds away...

The festival was started in 1994 and all the money raised is given to the local school.

Visitors can follow the trail of scarecrows around the village and use the clues to figure out the mystery word.

This year's theme was jobs and inventions. This beekeeping scarecrow won't have an easy job keeping those massive bees away!
