raven, extra fierce

Colwall, Herefordshire

I thought this must be a youngster with that round head shape, but no:"these are adults exhibiting aggressive behaviour!
This is the so-called "thick head intimidatory posture" and more often seen on the ground - designed to imply that the Raven is big and strong.
See 'next' for more normal shape

Ravens are amazingly clever birds, with a huge 'vocabulary' and a repertoire of poses and strategies! V
