Most likely Oz Ravens, especially as there are only two of them. Littles
usually get around in crowds.

I, too enjoyed tonight's episode.
The outdoor scenes for this series were largely filmed just west of here
in Murray Bridge - in the small towns of Callington and Monarto which
are about 60km SW of Adelaide. It has been interesting trying to
identify scenery, roads, shops and buildings as they appear.
By far the dominant corvid species around here is the Little Raven,
though Australian Ravens are recorded from time to time. Those featured
tonight seemed to look like Little Ravens BUT on the soundtrack they
sounded more like the Australian Raven.
