Bravery (Corvus coronoides perplexus, Rhipidura leucophrys)

We'd now got ourselves into a swampy area, rather than the open water of the lake.

On the path in front of us were another two Ravens and a Willie-Wagtail who was trying to chase them off. I presume he had a nest or youngsters nearby.

The last two images I got he was right in amongst them, but they just ignored him.

That Magpie sure is tiny up against those Ravens and a beautiful illustration of the size comparison girl!

Oh dear. I have a bad feeling about how that story ends, having seen Ravens gang up on smaller birds' nests before :(
