I wonder if I could pick your accumulative brains here. Is it possible that I had a Raven in my garden on Friday? I have seen them before but not so close.
This bird was way too big for a Crow (I think), and its bill was very large, totally black and unusual in shape. Had a look in the "Collins" book and it certainly looked like Raven. I have Crows/jackdaws almost daily so I am pretty familiar with them.
I just thought that it may be because of the very harsh conditions at the moment that birds are maybe having to take their opportunities.
As I was just typing I have had three juvenile gulls in the garden and on the table...........revise that four to TEN gulls as of now. I've not seen them in the garden before either!
