Rab's out on the pash mate.

Didn’t know you were besties with Harry Potter

He was some boy and that's coming from an auld socialist.

You wouldn't confuse him with Chaz - 3 put it that way.

Hi TMQ. Was up the Cuillin ridge at the weekend and dumped my bag to go up the summit of Am Basteir and then 3 ravens undid every pocket and fastening on my rucksack and stole all my food and even tossed my money and clothes and keys across the ridge. There were buckles, drawstrings and zips to undo and they opened everything. Ever happened to you before? They are geniuses.

Hate it when that happens.


As the ancients said.

If you see a group of crows - they're ravens.

If you see a solitary raven - it's a crow.

I've had run ins with the bastisrts but not at that level.

I blame Brexit.

I thought that seeing one crow was attempted murder

Gregory's calendar changed that

Fvck - must've missed that sequel - Claire Groggedon tho, eh...?

I don't get it

FFS Barry that's a shocker.

Sure you didn't have some Hearts fans in your wake?

First week in July a group of them dragged a wean's rucksack 300 metres

during the night in Perthshire. The sack was a tough as fek Osprey Ren

65l so it was intact but with peck holes in it.

I suppose in their defence they they were here well before us.

Do you like Beluga Lagoon TMQ?

Yeah not as much as my kids tho.

Oldest daughter is well obsessed.

So good for listening to in the van on the drives up north to the hills. Seems like a good bloke as well

So, what is the difference between Rooks and Ravens ?

The key differences lie in their size, appearance, and social behavior.

Chess: In chess, a rook is a powerful piece that can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically.  

Raves

Essentially, rooks are birds or chess pieces, while raves are parties.

Would you like to know more about either?

Rooks vs. Ravens

Rooks and Ravens are both members of the crow family, often causing confusion due to their similar appearance. However, there are distinct differences between the two.

Size
Ravens are significantly larger than rooks. They are often compared to the size of a buzzard.
Rooks are smaller and more commonly seen in urban areas.

Appearance
Ravens have a heavy, thick bill, and their plumage is typically a glossy black. They also have a distinctive diamond-shaped tail.
Rooks have a paler, more pointed bill and their feathers often appear less glossy. They have a bare, grey-white patch of skin at the base of their bill.

Behavior
Ravens are often solitary or found in pairs, although they can gather in larger groups. They are known for their intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
Rooks are highly social birds and often live in large colonies called rookeries. They are known for their noisy caws.
