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.
Made on my phone in Pixlr and Toolwiz apps.

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 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.

“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. "

Ravens are a part of my everyday life.
I watch, or just as often, hear them whoosh by high above the kitchen window cawing to each other on summer evenings.
They watch me for any scrap of fallen morsels or a chance at the bone the dog found and drug home.
They watch. I watch. I take their picture to add to my feed for others to feed on.
Ravens are becoming a more common sight on the moors near Sheffield. These two were cronking overhead as I was walking along Derwent Edge. I waited until I could frame them above the Salt Cellar.

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.

The Common Raven is the largest songbird in the world, and the individual in this image is vocalizing at a location along the Ingraham Trail (highway) that runs east of Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories of Canada. Thanks to its size and resourcefulness, this species does very well even in the Arctic in wintertime. (It has a circumpolar distribution and is also found year-round in Greenland and northern Eurasia.). The Common Raven is the territorial bird of Yukon Territory, to the west of the NWT in the northern part of Canada.
The Common Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. One bird was seen flying upside down for more than a half-mile. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
