Corvus corax
I know, I'm spoiling you all with such photogenic subjects :wink:

I'm pretty sure this is a Raven and perhaps a decent angle to ID for the better ID'ers?

Processed on my laptop so unsure how it looks for web presentation

Comments welcome

1d2, 500/4 + 1.4x, tripod

Yes, a Raven.
Looks okay on my screen. Good detail in the blacks. Lovely shot!

Fine shot of a Raven. Superb handling of the blacks.

Stunning Graeme - is there anything on the RAW in that lower wing you can lift a tad?

Superb image as is though :toast: :toast:

Thanks for the comments.

Andy, on my cruddy CRT i can see no detail at all in the lower wing, but on my laptop I can see quite good feather detail. I don't know if others can see any detail in the lower wing on their monitors?

I can see plenty of detail.A fraction less than on the other wing,which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Nice one. And your Kite shot as well. Would be happy to have taken either and happier if I'd taken both.

this is a great subject, we have a few round here on the isle of wight and keep meaning to get out there and get some shots.

i like this image, can anyone tell if it's male/female/young as the beak on one local raven looks huge and the others look somewhat smaller, i presume the big one is the male but not sure. this looks like the smaller ones.

Can't help you there Mark. I have trouble distinguishing Crows from Ravens :rolleyes:
