About

The raven is a massive crow, even bigger than a buzzard, which can be found on mountains and in forests where it feeds on carrion. The raven has been expanding its range in recent years, although it is still only found in rural areas. Ravens nest on cliffs around the coast, on mountains, in quarries and in large trees in parkland. Ravens pair for life; males perform breeding displays of posturing, preening and bill caressing from February onwards, and females lay four to six blue-green eggs in a nest of twigs and moss.
