Well I don't detect anything unusual that Jude is suggesting. I also think
it extremely likely that what Bron described is Little Ravens, not
Australian Ravens, as it is entirely characteristic of the Little Raven.
Except I don't know where Strathnairn is.

Hi Jude,
I counted over 50 in a flock at Strathnairn on 14/4. Calling, headed east.
It was spectacular enough to be noted by several non bird-watchers.
