Ravens? Whereabouts? 

Introduced to the South Downs NP in 2008 Mick

 

I became aware when I saw a pair doing very impressive courtship tumbling using the cliff updraughts next to Cuckmere Haven about seven years ago

Did not know that, thanks.

Yea , I'm particularly fond of the Ravens . Best places to see/hear them where I live is Harting Down and its surrounding woods , West Dean Woods  and the FC woods above Droke lane . I usually hear them croaking first then I stand still and look up till I pick them out .

Was 2000 Ravens in the local woods.

 

Quote

At its peak in 1999, Newborough forest hosted one of the largest raven roosts in the world, numbering around 2,000 birds.

 

NRW  has decided it should be  felled though as non native etc & have since  clear felled some blocks which I thought is a shame alot less ravens now.

Was an amazing site when they were all flying about  like the hitchcock film
