"Ancient Thoughts in an Ancient Place." 🖤🩶🖤 :crow:

This is a rook at Stonehenge. Rooks nest in the rocks there, as do jackdaws, and have done for countless years. I wonder what they think of all the humans who come to visit.

Photographer - John Westergreen, to whom I credit the marvelous and very apt title.

Today's PSA: don't forget to bring peanuts when you're going for a walk by the sea. Mr Crow-by-the-sea was very disappointed (I assume it's the male as the female is nesting, but could also be the female getting some food, I saw it earlier eating on a roof while the other member of the couple was in the tree where the nest is - it could be watching the nest).

Another thing: the wings seem to be damaged, like for 'my' Mr Crow.

I hadn't seen the crows-by-the-sea in a little while, I need to pay them more visits in the near future.

Crows are really hard to capture in the middle of the day. But this fall day last October was overcast, and the angle was right so that the details in this crow's plummage really popped. The head was really dark, but I lightened it in post processing so that the face's detail also came out okay.
