Night-heron and corvids and a few other things

Denis, Julian 

Thanks for those comments.  in the list of prey items in HANZAB nestlings are mentioned.  While Ravens are not specified that doesn't exclude them.  

Of possible interest, noting that there have been (to my memory) more reports of night-herons around the Kelly's Swamp area this year than the recent past, is that Royal Spoonbill chicks are specifically mentioned as having been predated.

I am confident a Night Heron would regard an unprotected chick in a nest as "food'. That would make it a potential threat to the Ravens.
