Nice picture.
FYI: It is technically a heronry, not a rookery.
Heronry: A breeding colony of herons, typically in a group of trees.
Rookery: the nests or breeding place of a colony of rooks,
A caveat to this definition: "rookery" has been used incorrectly for so long that it is now often used to refer to "a breeding ground or haunt especially of gregarious birds or mammals".
