Finally, Chris took Paul to look at a rookery high in the trees

Earlier in the day, they'd observed the rooks close at hand in one of Chris's bird hides.

  • The first thing Chris took Paul to see on the farm this week was a larch tree
  • Chris explained a bit more about the tree
  • There's a bit more colour to the trees than you initially expect
  • Next Chris took Paul to a field where "weeds" are allowed to grow
  • Chris shows Paul one of the plants in the field
  • A close up of the shepherd's needle
  • Finally, Chris took Paul to look at a rookery high in the trees
  • Look up there!
  • Chris thinks there are over 80 nests in the rookery
