Bird ID

Jim_Hodge · 2021-04-17 20:30:54

I can't see a stickie for Bird ID so.... In the garden today and heard a couple of rooks mobbing what I thought was one of the local buzzards but when I looked up it was another Crow only bigger than the rooks and seemed about the size of a Buzzard. I only got a quick glance from a distance but could it be a Raven? Thanks.

Almost certainly, about that size, other corvids will very often mob Ravens.

Great. Thank you, I can add it to my 'seen from the garden' list.

Super!
