"BWTB" - Raven's plight!

[Gina Hallgren]

Hello:

Continuing on with "Breakfast With The Birds" in our garden we had a very upset Raven parent who was calling for a lost fledging from its nest high (50+ ft) in a Eucalyptyus beside our garden. Evidently the fledging fell out of its nest, glided down and couldn't fly back. The noise of those parents woke up the neighbourhood, not our Uncle Gus as he turned off his hearing aids :D. I took a dozen photos, and will try to show how frantic the parents were.

I'm off to see family in Bournemouth on Thursday so will try to post another view before I leave.

All comments welcome and very much appreciated
