Raspy result for nest-ripping raven




Australian Ravens love ripping into leaf spider nests and taking them to gravel road or open ground to mop up all the youngsters running for cover.


This week in Townsville Town Common, a surprising change of diet. From nest near identical to that of the silk-weaving spiders bigger prey, Raspy Cricket. Species? With 220 in Australia alone I'll stick with common name. The crickets are also silk spinners.

 

But mostly, in my experience, it's spiders and more spiders most of the time.
