Ravens

 Not too many years ago, Ravens were considered a very rare bird here in Norfolk.  Since 2019 I have seen Ravens on my Breckland patch, usually appearing as pairs or single birds, however, in February this year, I saw 3 Ravens together.  Initially, calls were heard, which to me sounded like a distinctive "glock".  Soon all 3 birds appeared in full view and were engaged in chasing and tumbling behaviour, demonstrating great agility on the wing.
