The Rooks from the Vicarage behind us are raiding the garden feeders, this time of year they will visit the garden more often, especially when the young appear. As the spring rolls closer to summer the Rooks and Crows visit earlier and earlier and culminates in flocks of them landing on my roof at five thirty in the morning crowing and walking on our bedroom Velux window that is normally open. During the summer i have seen them behaving similar to Starlings with those marvelous flight patterns.
A quick trip to Drift Reservoir produced two Great Crested Grebe and they seem to be courting so with any luck they will breed at Drift. The Black Neck Grebe is still at Drift along with the Whooper. There were high numbers of duck in the distance, mostly Tufted and Mallard.

Great shots, I went to Drift on Friday to try and see the Great Crested Grebe but was out of luck
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Sam. Those Rooks are stunning. The first one is a lovely close up.
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots.I love all birds, but i´ve always had great fascination about crows.
ReplyDeleteGreat headshot of that Rook Sam. I get the Jackdaws raiding my feeders a real menace. Was at Drift yesterday as a couple of the lads needed the Whooper and the Black necked.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures. The headshot is marvelous. I really like the rock coloring in the middle photo.
