HI Martin et al, I've not seen this happen, only fairly standard nest raiding however it is interesting you should raise this given the sequences on David Attenborough's Life of Mammals last night. A group of baboons that traditionally forage in debris on the edge of Flamingo infested (so to speak) soda lakes in Africa for invertebrates to eat...... HOWEVER a particular individual ?5 years ago attacked, caught and killed a flamingo to eat. Now the whole group chase, catch and eat flamingos. Sure beats mucking about in muck! I guess your crafty ravens has developed a similar trick!! Only to be outsmarted by an even craftier individual! wendy moore |
