The Australian Raven (Corvus coronoides) is the largest Australian member of the genus Corvus and one of three Australian species commonly known as ravens.
It has all-black plumage, beak and legs, with a white iris, and is distinguished by its prominent throat hackles and grey bases of its black feathers.
Alternate names include Southern Raven, Southern Crow, and Kelly.

I live in Australia and enjoy bushwalking in the great outdoors, especially the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park.
My photographic interests are pretty much related to Australian landscapes, rustic Australia, historic Australia, Australian wildlife, flora, fauna, birds, etc. Guess I love the country I was born and live in.
