Super 50.000 Rooks Chatting on Power Wires
It’s an impressive sight – rooks gathering in their thousands, their weight straining the power wires.
The rooks in this picture were among some 50,000 who later flew off to roost in woods near a railway line in Buckenham, Norfolk.
Professional photographer David Tipling captured the image.
He said: ‘There may be record numbers here this year. Because of the cold weather it is harder for them to feed, so it makes sense for more of them to join the roost.
‘It’s an incredible sight – and the noise is extraordinary.’
Experts believe they gather in such large numbers to exchange information on feeding sites.
