The Little Raven is a medium-sized, entirely black corvid endemic to southeastern Australia. Despite its name, it is a robust bird, primarily distinguished from other Australian corvids by its size and specific calls.
Where to spot
Endemic to southeastern Australia, inhabiting grasslands, open woodlands, agricultural areas, and suburban parks.
How to spot
Similar in appearance to other Australian corvids, so rely on its smaller size compared to the Australian Raven, and especially its distinct, short, harsh 'kar-kar-kar' calls, which are quite abrupt.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often seen foraging in open fields or perched on prominent features.
