Beach Rooks

The last couple of times I've been at Hornsea beach I've been surprised by the gang - sounds more appropriate than the collective names of "building" or "clamor" - of rooks. They feel at ease cruising the beach up or down on the sand, gliding over the waves or over the promenade wall in search of morsels of food. They look like rooks that tried to be a seagull and they quite liked it. I love how incongruous they look with the blue backdrop of the sea, but also how the behaviour of this particular group of individuals illustrate how resourceful corvids are.
