I don't know about others that visit Gigrin, but I've always found the raven there to be quite elusive subjects and were one of my target birds on the recent NPN trip.

Oly E-3, 300mm plus 1.4tc tripod and cropped for composition

Lovely bird, would it take a slightly tighter crop? Maybe just losing the bottommost stones? Not easy to get on the ground are they?

Not the best of habitats, but you take what’s on offer. Perhaps a tight crop to emphasis the raven a tad etc.. Still a nice shot tho’.

I like the pose on the bird and size/placement in the frame but would have prefered a lower pov (although i know not really possible at Gigrin).

I know that ravens are not easy to photograph.
Even if they are just close around you.
Very clever
