At The Rookery II

Almost the identical image in my last post. The difference is this image was taken two years later of the same nest and about two months earlier when the chicks were first hatched. The point to both these post is to show that there are preferred nesting sites in the rookery that are used year after year. The best sites always go to the early arrivals. I have no way of knowing if it's the same adults each year.

Full Frame: Lost some pixels because I had to level the image.
