Been seeing a small flock of birds about raven size for a few weeks now but never sure what they were as quite far away and they keep moving too fast for my eyesight. This is from my front windows and using binoculars.
[It was once said that every highland house had a pair of binoculars in their main widow as a hobby]
Today they were pairing off and doing intricate aerial displays but still could not identify them.
Went up to visit my wildlife pal and he says ravens do this and can be found in small flocks. I always thought ravens were a bit solitary but seems I am wrong and this is common and ravens are among the earliest birds to start nesting.
I learn something new regularly even at my advanced age.
He had other visitors and also learned a lot about rubbish disposal and also many myths about environmentally friendly energy production.
I saw a pair of Ravens yesterday as I was waiting for the steam engine . Ravens are very agile for a large bird and have a very distinctive bark of a call . I often hear them before seeing them .
