Rooks Rule the Roost

by · May 23, 2026

There’s an unmissable exhibition at Oriel y Parc, St Davids, strictly about the birds – the rooks, that is.

Celebrating The Mischief Of Rooks features the paintings of Jackie Morris and the clay models of Elly Morgan.

Together, they pay homage to the magical presence of these remarkable birds.

The inspiration for this exhibition was the sound of rooks in the woods outside when the two artists were dismantling a previous presentation here.

They wanted to show their appreciation of the birds… and they have done so in grand style.

The exhibition runs until 21 June.
