A common enough bird that we don't see enough photos of, let alone in flight photos.

Fence in the background and leg ring are minor nits here

The fence and ring are rather unfortunate, and to be honest I would have liked some more detail in the blacks, but this is still an excellent capture which I would have bee pleased to have taken.

I think it may be possible to dodge in a little extra detail, especially around the head. The ring does not bother me, and it is far better than any raven shot that I have!

First raven I can recall seeing on here, really like the wing position and splayed fingers :smile:
