C.Rayz's photos with the keyword: nesting

and consequently falling all over the place.

They don't always live in harmony. These Herons need to execise, they aren't very coordinated yet and often if they move slightly off thier own nests the Rooks take offense and begin diving at them.

So sorry for all the photos but it's like taking shots of the Grand Canyon, you just can't help yourself even though they are never as good as seeing it live. These birds are SOOO silly to watch, you simply can't help yourself.

This was a very attentive adult, with quite young ones still.

Typical small village, rather extraordinary church, but nothing that makes you say "I must climb that tower" per say.. that is until you learn that the tree in the foreground here is filled with at least 11 Grey Heron nests and untold Rooks nests. The view from atop this tower is something that is so surreal and otherworldly that it must not be missed!

This is looking down onto the Heronary and Rookary, this tree stands at least 3 stories I would guess with around 11+ Grey Heron nests and many Rooks nests. I'm sure anyone reading this has seen Grey Herons along water edges, and they are lovely. Put them in trees and it makes for a very entertaining day, especially when you have soo many young silly birds, that don't belong atop tall trees on the best of days.

Ok I shall apologize now for the following flood of photos....But I literally can NOT help it. These birds are insane...lol

Most of the Grey Heron Juveniles and Rooks are reading to Fledge the nest, but there are many that are still very young. This is a pair of adults doing a shift/feeding change.
