I have some blackbirds and thrushes feeding together in such a flurry.  As soon as I put the food out they  skim past me and tuck into the  bird food – ignoring me in the process.  They are united in this urgency.  They know with certainty that in two minutes the rooks will be descending. 

It’s a case of try and outwit the rooks – placing the bird food in places where they can’t reach.

I’m getting a close up view of these large rooks and they are so large and  just have an arrogant look about them.  I suppose they know they rule the roost so to speak

I outwit them in the end.
