I am trying to understand how you identify Ravens and Crows from underneath. I have read the Raven has a wedge shape tail so are these Ravens. The waders I think are Sanderling at the front and Dunlin at the rear. Am I correct. Thank you.

Ravens also seem to have quite a narrow hand. Both of these Ravens for me.

And the waders - Dunlin, Sanderling, Sanderling, Sanderling, Dunlin, Sanderling, Dunlin, Sanderling, Dunlin.

Visited Eigg as a kid, 37 years ago, only had electricity at our cottage for a couple of hours a day when the generator was on to do the milking. Amazing trip, ticked Golden Eagle & Otter, remember it like it was yesterday. No, not yesterday, yesterday's a bit of a blur, better than that, remember it like was 37 years ago, that's more like it....

Thank you. For me Eigg is my favourite place out of anywhere I have been, big enough to be interesting but small enough to know completely.
