Highlights of a slightly longer walk in frosty conditions this morning consisted of another Raven sighting and five Pink-footed Geese calling as they flew over heading south. The Raven is interesting. All three birds I have seen over the past week were flying very low over the treetops (or rooftops) and not calling at all. I am much more used to them flying high over and announcing their presence with their far-carrying, croaking call. However this month's birds (or bird) are definitely being deliberately unobtrusive. I wonder if a local breeding attempt is being considered. The choice of site will be interesting as the tower at Leverndale is still covered in scaffolding.
