A misty dawn,
over the rookery.
The rooks resume construction

because one of them is a robber rook
who steals the choicest twigs
from his hard working neighbours.
As their nests diminish,
so his grows.
It has at least three storeys now.
I believe he is waiting for them to
install their new feather bed.

ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely to see all that building and thieving going on.

ReplyDeleteMy youngest and I loved the penguin video.
