Common Raven Corvus corax, nowhere near as fast or noisey as the Harriers and Eagles I was there to photograph! Taken in the Cadair pass near Dolgellau, from Cad west, Mach loop, Wales.

Great shot, Nigel.
The beauty of corvids is unfortunately often underestimated!

A nice flight shot. One of my favourite birds but I have never managed to get one as good as this. PS. I didn't know we had eagles in Wales

There's often Eagles in Wales; F15E Strike Eagles! This Raven was photographed in the Low-level training area.

Good looking flight shot Nigel, Raven looks well against that BG.
