Hi all,

Photos 1-3:
Would you be able to identify this corvid from these distant photos?

Photos 4-5:
And could somebody confirm if these birds are indeed twite?|>|

Thanks,
Ryan

1-3 looks like Ravens for me.

Don't know on the other 2.

Do look like Ravens in pics 1-3.
Pic 5 definitely shows 2 Twite, and pretty sure 4 does too.

4 can't exclude Linnet; agree 5 is definitely Twite.

For sure. Yellow bill on 4 and check the "curry-coloured faces" and bec-jaunes on these beauties! B

Cheers guys! Good to know. Was hoping that the corvid was a raven and the others were twite but wanted to check here first

I've also seen Raven at Rye Harbour October last year.
