The Rooks start their year.

 The Horse Chestnut tree outside my bedroom window has once again become alive with the activities of the Rooks which arrive at first light from their night roost over Bradford Peverall way. 

 Nesting Rooks.  Phto. John Elliott.


 Six pairs of birds are present, with four nests under construction so far, the more experienced birds seemingly well ahead. In past years new arrivals have sometimes taken several weeks to get the first stick to stay in place. having dropped many in the process. These, neither they or the other birds pick up again resulting in a very untidy front garden and footpath for a while.

All our pictures may be enlarged. Click on this one, can you find all the rooks?
