Who's a pretty boy then ?

There are loads of "pretty" bird species about but i do have a soft spot for Rooks. There mugs are full of character to my (tiny) mind and all very different. When i call by Killy Lakes i always walk up to the roundabout before the shopping centre to see if there are any knocking about.  This fella was captured at Gretna while JOHN and i waited for a murmuration.
Say "CHEEEESE"

  4. When I was very young, we had a rookery at the end of the garden. The owner of the land cut down the trees and I found it difficult to get to sleep properly for some weeks without their evening 'cawrus'.

    I keep looking across at "wor lass" for some reason Joe. I wonder if she was in Holywell Village on Halloween?
