Little Raven (9/11)

PASSERIFORMES: Corvidae

Corvus mellori  

These Little Ravens are metres from the summit of The Horn, the highest point on Mount Buffalo, over 1,700 metres above sea-level.

They visit the snow-country in large numbers during the summer to take advantage of the bountiful numbers of Bogong Moths which they seek amongst the rocks.*
