The Common Raven

It is the largest of the passerines and corvids!
Whether feared or revered, it is the subject of myths and legends in many cultures. Once hated and hunted, it is now protected. About the size of a buzzard, it can be recognised by its diamond-shaped tail and its throaty screech. It is an omnivore, which means it feeds on carcasses, eggs, chicks and berries!
The couples, bound together for life, perform high-flying courtship displays! Apart from humans, its only predator is the golden eagle.
