When I moved to Herefordshire I didn't imagine that I would live in a house over which ravens regularly flew, "barking" and sometimes performing their characteristic "rolling". In fact I didn't appreciate that ravens would be as common as they are in this part of the world. This species appears to be one of those whose population has recovered considerably since the reduction in persecution. The bird in the photograph was scavenging near a picnic site with its mate (they mate for life), and presented a few opportunities for a photograph.
