The Common Raven or Northern Raven (Corvus corax) has a widespread distribution across the Northern Hemisphere. A minimum of eight subspecies are recognised including Corvus corax canariensis which is confined to the
Canary Islands. It is smaller in body structure, has a smaller more
decurved bill and shows an oily brown gloss to its plumage. Ravens are
normally very wary but at this location, they are tame because titbits can be scavenged from the tourists which pull in at this mirador (viewing
area). This area overlooks the lush valley and reservoir at Las
Penitas, an important area for wildlife on Fuerteventura.Text © www.rawbirds.com
