Little Ringed Plover and an intelligent Rook

A pair of Little Ringed Plover were dibbling about in front of the East Hide on the 10th April though I could have done with this male bird getting a little closer - the photo is heavily cropped. The Rook was both smart visually and mentally. It has found a way of leaping up to the bird table feeder and using it's long bill to get at the food put out for the smaller birds. This gave it a distinct advantage over the marauding Jackdaws.
