My wasn't a raven moment

[Madelinew]

Oh well. I thought it was a bit of a leap of faith. I saw a bird in the garden that I dismissed as one of my resident crows and did a double take because it seemed much larger and had a different beak shape. One of those please don't fly away moments as I leapt on bins and book only to confirm that yes it was a little bigger than one of the crows but it's still a crow, confirmed by the fact that it's mate landed next to it and was a little smaller. And the strange beak shape? Well through the bins, I've never seen a bird with such a full crop!

Never mind Madeline.....maybe next time eh? A Raven would be a super garden tick wouldn't it?
The Crow could possibly have been feeding young to make it's crop seem so large???
