User's notes
When I was entering a hide there was an Australian Raven walking along the entrance path. I wanted to photograph it but the path was well shaded meaning a black bird in shadow is not an easy thing to photograph so I let the opportunity go. Possibly the same bird later appeared in front of the hide but walking through thick grass making it hard to photograph. The raven walked the ten metres or so to the water in front of the hide. None of the other birds reacted to the raven’s presence, as I was wondering if it was trying to find unattended eggs in nests along the bank. Looking at the slight dampness on its beak I suspect it was just getting a drink.
