Great T*ts and Yellow T*ts but the demonic Ravens have arrived.

In my garden I have 10 tall old pine trees that sway and creak like old men after after a few points at the local. At night they make a spooky lonely noise as all forests do. But its a great habitat for wildlife. We have squirrels galore, jumping around living their best life ion the washing line, all the normal British birds, like Blue T*ts and Yellow T*ts and a pair of Sparrow Hawks that comeback to roost every year. Their distinctive shriek scare the little birds to death as they are lunch. They even take out pigeons, that hide behind chimneys. The Red Kites are also on a dramatic increase in the U.K and seem to fly lower and lower in suburbia every year. But in the summer I heard a new bird noise in the garden, a strange guttural croak. I couldn't see what it was. thought it might be a nearby neighbour's chickens. But I got online and tracked down the noise. Its a pair of Ravens .They are like big crows but more demonic looking. They are rare for the area I live. They are normally found by the coast or up north towards Scotland. I finally saw them last week , dancing in the sky with some sort of mating ritual, huge wings and other croaky noises. How long they are staying I don't know but they are being harassed by the crows already .Crows seem to harass any birds, however big.
