This morning on Black Mountain an Australian Raven fed young in the nest
before settling over them. So it looks as if 'stuff is happening' all over

In June, I reported a pair of ravens building a nest on Farrer Ridge.
Today, it seems there are two nests in the tree quite close to each
other. Unfortunately, the big nest is so well concealed, one has to
lie under the tree to observe it. I tried this for a few minutes this
morning, and on three occasions a raven approached a nest (both were
approached), to within a foot of the nest, only to leave without
entering it, uttering something unprintable. I guessed pretty quickly
that my presence was disturbing them and went away. But my conclusion
is that “stuff is happening there”.

My photo records show that on 12 October last year I photographed
ravens feeding young that could fly, not very far from this nest.
