I don't think I would be able to tell a Raven from a Crow or Rook and hopefully haven't got any here. As we are now living next door to some woodland there are masses of Jackdaws, Crows, Rooks, Magpies and Buzzards and because of these we have just ordered a very large fruit cage to protect the tortoises. Currently it is laid out on the lawn waiting to be put up!! Might be a challenge.
