    Two in UCD today; they must be nesting nearby. These might be the same ones we saw all last Summer. Right now is nesting time for them I think.

    There were ravens in UCD in the 1990s when I studied there :) Nice to know they're still about.

    I have spotted individual birds over the Kilmainham/Inchicore area over the last year I have been living there. I was thinking that maybe they are present in the Phoenix Park.

    Indeed. Illegal to keep.

    That is a cracking photo; the reason I was getting so worked up was because it is nesting time for them. They have been in the suburbs all last Summer but getting them right now means they should be nesting nearby. Last Summer, in UCD, they raided a magpie nest. It would balance things out a bit to have them nesting in the suburbs.
