Birds 31 - Australian Raven and White-winged Chough
I have finally completed my theme for October - the birds I have photographed while out and about.
I love Australian Ravens (Corvus coronoides) a passerine bird in the genus Corvus native to much of southern and northeastern Australia. They look formidable and have a distinctive call.There is a pair in a huge gum tree a few doors down that have been there quite a few years, they don't venture into our yard very often.
The White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is another favourite - I usually see them when lunching in the Megalong Valley - if they are around you need to keep an eye on your food as they won't hesitate to pick things right from the table.
@Weezilou haha I would happily share too - many places have signs not to feed the birds as they become a problem but at the Megalong cafe they don't seem to worry about the birds just warn customers to not leave their food unattended.
The choughs are only slightly smaller than ravens but ravens definitely have a formidable appearance and demeanor. @phil_howcroft
