I will not see much of the Rooks over summer. Instead they will forage on the mudflats of the estuary, which is situated right next to the Church and the Rookery. Here they can find Crusatations, ana a large variety of Invertebrates.To feed themselves, the parents will drop by here to get a quick bite. And the quick bite, consist of filling the beak and crop as much as possible. It looks more like a gobbling machine though!
Yea, they are lovely, and their behaviour is so funny.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey can be funny indeed.
They would make great stage performers, I'd like to think.
Wow, all those nests in one spot. We don't have rooks here. They look quite comical.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is only a relative small Rookery. But in summer there'll be many more nests in the trees. They are very social birds and like breeding together.
ReplyDeleteIt is weird how some species are living on both our continents, and others here & say Asia.
But many of the species are introduced by man of course.
That is for another post on Wildlife on Wheels. Or perhaps both of the blogs. That would be fun.
