Yes, bridges and particularly older stone bridges with cracks and crevices between the stone work are important and are used by species such as Dipper and Grey Wagtail and bats
Rooks, small. Black bird. I've been listening to Derek Mooney talk about watching two Rooks fighting but weren't fighting. One was holding the other down while it's mate fed. It looked nasty but wasn't, he was just holding the other bird while his mate fed. I've seen this happen this week while looking out my window. Now I know why, cheers Derek.
For some reason I read mate there as his pal and not his romantic partner. Slightly different connotations. I heard the same interview. Also, can't really get the image of the crow hovering up food with their keretin malformed beak (also discussed). Eerily fascinating.
Bridges also.I have seen nests under an old stone bridge near me.I think they might be Dipper nests ?
