    Being woken up early (ish) by this young bird with its parents. A pair brought a youngster last year, same pair I wonder? Are those markings on the wings normal?

    I'm not a bantam, am I?

    The Rooks and Crows have been visiting the garden. in the wee early hours, two Rook families with young this morning. This little one came back on its own later, not that sure which it is?

    On Tuesday my brother drove us to Bough Beech. the first time I'd left home for birding since 2019. Most birds were too distant for photography, but as we were leaving I grabbed a few record shots of Rooks in flight from the car window. Low sun turned some feather edges gold. It was the first...

    Autumn? - maintenance?

    I've seen other corvids repairing and expanding their nests at all times of the year. Do Rooks do that too? For most birds it would be strange to see them carrying nesting materials in Autumn.

    I didn't have a suitable Saturday Fun image until I woke up this morning and spotted this Rook feeding on the coconut fat! For days I'd discovered the coconut shells were on the ground and couldn't understand how it was happening. Now I can see, so will have to make sure that top feeder tray...

    First for a while

    My most common corvid to the garden is the Jackdaw, with occasional visits by crows. Rooks are a long way behind, so nice to see one descend for a change. Incidentally I've had a couple of Magpies visible from my flat but no Jays as yet! TTTW

    One of two Rooks visiting our garden during a period of snowy weather. This one had found a fat ball that had become dislodged from a feeder. I liked the way it had clamped the fat ball with its foot while attacking the ball with its beak.

    SF3 - just before he jumped

    Another not really funny one, but just to show how I got some boring standing-in-the-snow shots just before that action shot where he jumped ... out of the frame :(

    SF3: If only ...

    If only I'd known he was about to jump and had swung the camera a bit to the right. If only I'd been a few steps further away. If only I'd had a shorter lens on. If only ... then this could have been a really great shot. But at least it's a good SF shot. Now I have to get jumping too. I have a...
