I get the best view of the rookery on my journey home.
The Rooks have been so busy over the past few weeks rebuilding their nests.
I counted over twenty.
I counted over twenty.
Big bulky twiggy structures... high up in the trees.

I took a little video clip to share on this post.
As I have already mentioned the A50 is a busy road.... Cheshire to London before the motorways.
The traffic noise is horrendous so you may want to turn the sound down.
I don't know how the birds put up with it.

it is loud and now i am wondering if birds have ears.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Andrew!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of nests.
Great post! That's very noisy, wonder how they do it.
ReplyDeleteA lot of nests there, can imagine that they've been busy. Have a nice evening.

Idon't suppose they bother too much about us humans Andrew - they have other things on their minds in spring.
ReplyDeleteGreat Rookery Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWith spreading urbanization around the world, I guess the birds have to learn to put up with us or they would die off. We have a Heron rookery between two shopping centers, 175m sq of open space.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - especially the first couple against that beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! :)
ReplyDeletea massive bill! rooks in a rookery. very cool!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Theresa! Huge bills! Nice post Andrew!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so now I know what rooks are...
ReplyDeleteBig noisy things, with brains! The crows that live in the town where my parents are, have figured out that green plastic garbage bags contain lots of food...
Even with the traffic noise, that must be a very noisy tree. We have ravens here and they can make quite a racket. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI bet those Rooks are just as noisy as the traffic when its quiet! That is quite the bill they have.
ReplyDeleteYour Rooks are similar to the American Crows I have here. It is amazing that they tolerate the traffic racket.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did you get those close shots? The crows here are way wary of me.
Hugs!
Noisy in groups, but great to see; and hear.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was trying to get just one crow pic in my yard today.
ReplyDeleteI do think yours have a much larger beak than ours.
Thanks for sharing Andrew!
Very nice series of picture you show with rooks.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good day.

Great post and images Andrew. Impressive nest builders are Rooks...[;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired I mistook the nests for mistletoe. I'm so tired I'm not sure I want to hear the din! I suppose they have gotten used to it somehow!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! They look ever bigger than our crows. Love the stout bill!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteThey have built their nests like a big family.
I have often crows visiting bird feeder.
Have a nice day!
Camara trasera Very very interesting post..I like this one. gotta bookmark this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat great birds they are. We used to have two or three small rockeries near us in Somerset - the seemed to become active very early in the year.
ReplyDeleteCrow Country by Mark Cocker is a great read if you have not already read it.
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
reminds me of the Raven the larger crow type bird that we have in our western states, it has the larger beak...Great Find Andrew!!
ReplyDeleteI could hear them squawking more than I could hear the cars. I see those kind of nests here too. What I thought was interesting is how the tree was moving in the breeze. If I were a bird, I think that would bother me more than the sound of cars.
ReplyDeleteA terrific set of photos...
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Andrew!!! Splendid shots!
