See for yourselves why I used that description:
Here he is looking towards us - note the different shape of the 'brow' compared to the bold raven:
Here he is eyeing a scrap:
Here he is making a hole to hide his scrap:
Note how deep the beak goes into the ground.
Hopefully I'll be able to take more photos as the weather gets warmer - provided the rain keeps to times when we're not out in the park!

Hi {Yma} - this is realwest! I'm glad you posted those photos -and I certainly see why you refer to them as "Roman Noses"!!
But I never realized how shiny their feathery "coats" are. They are beautiful.
Thanks {Yma}!
Hiya, realwest -
they are indeed magnificent birds.
Once one's been eye-to-eye with one, about two feet apart, their intelligence becomes obvious. They are intrepid, they are not afraid to look at humans. Even a charge by a dog, like Madame used to do, and like Miss Sophie is not attempting, does not fluster them.
Their shiny feathers make them stand out from the crows.
I'm totally captivated by the ravens.
