Rooks on the Cleveland Way

A beautiful painting and beautifully painted Emma.

And what a raucous din they make, which I love to hear any time of day. Lots to spot in your painting Emma….acrobatics of the Rooks, and the attitudes of some of the sheep, I spotted the one on the left with its back to the rooks but it’s ears are pointing backwards! Lol. It’s altogether fabulous! There’s a roost of Rooks and Jackdaws behind me, there are no nests, I’m wondering if it’s just a winter roost?

A really beautiful painting, Emma!!

A great painting, Emma.

Great painting Emma, I can almost hear all those rooks by looking at your painting!

Beautiful

Fantastic painting Emma, I wish I was there watching them.

Superb Emma 😍

Thank you all! Fiona - I’d guess this one is a winter roost, like yours, as there are no signs of old nests. But it’s still early in the year, so worth keeping an eye out for any nest building (and if they’ve got a regular roost, they must nest somewhere nearby? 🤞)

Beautiful painting- I love the composition and there’s lots of activity and movement with those Rooks!

A lovely fresh painting

Fresh and beautiful Emma, can hear the rooks.

This is wonderful Emma. The shapes of the trees is so realistic and the rookery is excellent!

Thanks again for the kind comments.

A stunning watercolour Emma just so much wonderful detail I love it

Thanks Keith.
