Images of the Ravens in Llandudno....... my favourite wildlife moment of 2012

Seeing Ravens was my highlight of 2012... to see and photo them just a few feet from the car was amazing.




I have added links to a couple of last years posts if you want to see them.
It was an amazing few minutes... and all about sharing a packet of biscuits with the Herring Gulls.

Those are great close-ups Andrew. I must have somehow missed them on their initial showing in 2012.

Ravens seem to have a problem, it can't lie down and eat. Lovely photos.

These are awesome pictures of the ravens. The only ones I have ever seen are the 7 at at the Tower of London. The wonderful macros give us so much detail. genie

Super shots of one of the most interesting birds alive in my humble opinion. The Raven is so smart. I love to watch them play!

I didn't miss them first time round and I loved the last one, glancing right into the lens like that; what a great snap

MadSnapper said...

i like the way all the details show up in these, like the claws in the first and the tongue inside the beak in the last. amazing to get that close.

I love watching birds while having a stay at a llandudno holiday cottage. It's a form of relaxation for me.
