User's notes

There was a small group of Australian Ravens at STEP that morning who were not bothered by my presence. Indeed, I thought I was going to be swooped by a raven as it was flying almost head height towards me but at a measured pace rather than an aggressive dash. When the bird got closer to me it veered up to go over me and pursue a beetle I had not noticed flying behind me. After a couple of erratic jinks following the flying beetle the raven finally successfully got hold of the six-legged morsel. After landing, it used its beak as well as a claw to eat the insect, that is, it did not eat he bug whole. That is the first photograph. There was at least one young raven who was also foraging for food, rather than asking for food. There was the occasional squabble between this group of birds but nothing serious.
