[QUOTE="fenhayman, post: 6105176, member: 1921"] In the 1960's local farmers organised an annual "rook shoot". Took place on a Saturday afternoon just before eggs hatched and too late for another brood. Aimed to cover all rookeries in parish. Instructed to shoot into nest and then shoot the rooks flying around for next 2 hours so that any remaining eggs were chilled and wouldn't hatch. Got rid of the next generation and a lot of the present one. [/QUOTE]
