After a short while they were joined by a Rook.
Recently a Rook has been making early morning visits to the bird feeders.
It usually manages to extract a suet ball or suet log which it enjoys on the ground.
This morning I spotted a Rook which seemed to be self identifying as a Blue Tit as it clung on the feeders to get its share of what was on offer. Fortunately the camera which monitors the feeders caught the action:
I sometimes think they expend as much energy trying to feed as they get from what they manage to eat.
Silly bird. If the feeders here aren't cable tied on they just throw them on the ground and eat in comfort.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have all of those nice trays for easy eating! Goofy!
ReplyDeleteI do not know the difference between "Rooks", "Jackdaws", crows and blackbirds! They all look so similar to me!
Jackdaws are common visitors here, always raiding the feeders. I like them as they pair for life, you often see them on the rooftops chattering to each other , no doubt like any other husband and wife team.
