Just noticed these three birds high in the sky above Lucan Demesne this morning One seemed bigger - and was possibly being chased/mobbed by the other 2- hooded crows? Here is a blow up of the shot- just wondering could the bigger/blacker bird be a raven??? raven?/url] added later

Looks like it keps . The wedged tail is clear and it's big enough, although the beak is a bit bright but that could be a trick of the light.
