I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve actually had this conversation with visitors from South Africa and Australia lately as we walked through the woods of NE Germany. Ravens were a sacred bird to the ancient Germans and while I am as far from a spiritual person as can be, it is easy to see why. At first sight, they are simply black big birds with a croaking voice. But their behaviour, their silent flights through the dark woods, and their calls – oh, their calls – are nothing short of magical. No matter how many ravens I have seen, and they are common again in most parts of Germany. I will take special note of every raven that passes me by. There is a clear difference between seeing a raven or seeing most other bird species. Amazing pictures.
