The local rookery was full of life today. It created a magic spring time feeling  What are your rooks doing? The Rattling Crow

Mine have been lining nests for a week, and am pretty sure some are incubating now. South-central England. They started repairing nests in early January, but shifted up a gear 2 weeks ago. |

Yup, plenty of activity in the local rookeries here too, though the numbers seem to be down on last year, early days yet though. Handsome birds close up but they do make an appalling racket!  |

Getting very touchy and terroritorial they are. (Buzzard not going into rookery, only flying in that area to sight food from above, as they do.)......Posie |

Popped to Lakenheath Fen last week and the rooks were certainly busy there:  | | |
