Rooks, as we’ve said before, are noted by most people (web sites) who know, as being sociable birds always seen in small groups or large flocks. Here we have a couple who just want to buck the trend – or maybe they haven’t been to the RSPB website. That doesn’t surprise me – we are so far from the exchange around here that if you want to get on the Internet, it’s quicker to go and fetch it in a bucket than to use what passes for ‘broadband’.
Come to look at the picture again, they both look a bit dishabille I wonder what they’ve been up to? Could it be we’ve a couple of teenagers here who sneaked away from the flock for a bit of ‘quality time’?
As Cole Porter said “Birds do it.”
