Rookies are beautiful and incredibly smart. This one posed nicely for me on a pole. They found a lot of food here but unfortunately not all of it very well, as it was close to Stonehenge in England where hordes of tourists unfortunately leave a lot of rubbish in the countryside and these birds are then the first to pick it up. They are smart enough not to eat plastic, for instance, but unfortunately this is left behind in nature. These birds are beautiful and fortunately protected. They are tough, unfortunately they are not found in my own area so when I get the chance to photograph them I do so immediately of course.
