FW: [canberrabirds] Abnormal colouring- Australian Raven

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

I had a look in the website for the CBN article on this by (I think) Chris Davey – or was it Michael Braby?  I don’t seem to be able to search the CBN holdings any more, although it is stated they are ‘searchable’. I am getting too old for the technology.  A general search of the website brings up A Raven photos, including one of a part albino from some years ago

A few years ago we had some Aus Ravens with white patches. There was one regularly around my house (west Kambah) for I think several months, that had one wing mostly white, until I found it dead one day. I think it was Chris Davey who had a similar one near his home. The strange coloured beak in the one in your photo is more unusual.

What do you make of the beak and the white in wings? Taken in Erindale.
