Ravens
View allAll Photos Tagged RAVEN
Living down in the South East of England, I rarely get an opportunity to see a Raven & much less to photograph one.
I was therefore pleased when this big guy dropped in unexpectedly, during a recent shoot.
Norway - Sept 2021.

⛧"“Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
‘Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,’ I said, ‘art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore –Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!’ Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore.” ⛧
The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe

I, am the mystery
And I, am the bringer of moonless night
Bear the wisdom arcane
I, harbinger from the burrowed isle
Once you break forth
Hearken the flap of my wings
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you
I am the icon sublime
The guide on the voyage, clandestine
Sing the verses bewailed
I, torch of the radiant way
Once you step out
Hearken the strokes of my wings
Once you will leave your cocoon
I will be there
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you
And death will smile his barefaced smile
Initiating your final anguish
It is not before my arrival
That you will be lead to feel the natural serenity of leaving this world...
Hear my wings caressing the wind
Hear my cry
Haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty to lead
Your path, because I'll take, you home
To rest in my black wings, enfolding you

Fly like a raven
Black honey into the night
Soft like the air beneath
A swan in her flight
Then return back home to bed
Bring the dancing stars
Sleep and dream of a white wolf howling
And know that I am near
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Let's dream together you and I
Oh, close your eyes
We will fly
Dreaming together you and I
The moon has sailed
In a silver gown of stars
That's long but not forever
Soon our love will rise as mine
And sing to the shadows
Tomorrow we shall rise with the dawn
Kiss the flowers and blooms
But now lie still as the wind and listen
For I will come to you with the foot steps of morning
It's fantastic to see Ravens making such a good recovery over the past 20 years or so. They are now a reasonably common sight over the moors of Derbyshire. I photographed this individual as it flew over Curbar Gap and headed off down a mist-covered Derwent valley, with its distinctive cronking call echoing off the gritstone edges.
Ravens are classic birds of wild places and, in my experience, tend to give humans a wide berth. So I was surprised whist sat on the summit cairn of Cairngorm on an early morning walk last week to be joined by this majestic individual. It hopped to within metres of where I was sat before eventually flying off with its typical cronking call. Unfortunately, there was a small boulder between me and the bird which meant I couldn't get a clean image of it from beak to tail, hence this crop.
Ravens are some of the misunderstood species. Some say they bring misfortune, others accuse them of stealing or say they are bad and devious. The truth is that they are very social and highly intelligent. And moreover I think they are very beautiful.

The ancient landscape of Mutawintji National Parkis rich in Aboriginal history. Explore bushwalks and camp under the outback night sky.
Visiting the ancient landscape of Mutawintji National Park in the NSW outback is a uniquely Australian experience. Here you will find a ruggedly beautiful desert region showing evidence of continuous use by Aboriginal people for thousands of years.
Dominated by the Bynguano Ranges, whose vibrant red colour dramatically captures changes in the light, this outback park is home to the famous hand stencil art of local Aboriginal communities as well as many other important cultural and historic sites.

Thanks a lot, everyone, for stopping by, for looking my work, for your comments and likes! Always appreciated!
Raven - Corvus corax
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.

“People believed that when someone dies, a raven takes their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something bad happens, and it brings great sadness, and the soul cannot rest in peace. And sometimes, just sometimes, the raven can bring back the soul to mend the evil. "
The Crow
...
“La gente creía que cuando alguien muere, un cuervo lleva su alma a la tierra de los muertos, pero a veces pasa algo malo, y trae mucha tristeza, y el alma no puede descansar en paz. Y a veces, solo a veces, el cuervo puede traer de vuelta el alma para reparar el mal. "

The Australian Raven (corvus) is a black bird with white eyes in adults. The hackles on the neck (the throat feathers) are longer than in other species of crows. Australian Ravens usually live in pairs.
