Definitely; a pair is a great sighting for me on my home patch. Raven are a relatively recent breeding specie in Sussex.......... but expanding pretty strongly. They breed to the South of me and more recently to the north. It would be really exciting to have a breeding pair but they are probably a young pair and just prospecting now that love is in the air...........time will tell.

You two are certainly getting quality birds!
Despite very strong winds nothing new flew over my garden today. 15 Waxwings in the village didn't come my way either.

Likewise I've had c20 apples impaled on my pyracanthea (if that's how you spell it?) since the Waxwing invasion..and have dipped 4 times on the flock that has occured locally...but alas! no Waxwings on the apples!
So far this year 24 recorded species in the garden, and 18 flyovers, highlights in ascending order of diminishing occurence..Goldcrest, Little Egret,
Green Woodpecker, Buzzard, Goshawk, Firecrest, Blackcap,
Reed Bunting...and no House Sparrow!

Of course. I know Halftwo is away and won't be on the board for a couple of weeks but I'm sure he'd be pleased to have another Garden Lister on board.
Good total so far!
