the "bird" followed me for about 3 peaks, it perched itself as in the photo and kept "kawwing" at me, guess its used to being fed walkers buttiess, we sat there looking at each other for about 20 mins, i personally believe it to be a raven, as it was to big to be a crow.
the shots where taken with my standard 18-55mm lens, i had my 70-200 in my rucksack, but knew if i had taken the time to dig it out it would have flown off, so we enjoyed each others company for a while, the pic was taken on summit of Great Rigg, i was sat on the summit cairn, and the raven was about 20-25 feet away.
i was trying to get the atmospheric clouds "pouring off" Hart Crag/Dove Crag in the shot, it was one of the highlights of the trip.
i have about 20 seconds of it on video on my phone but the lens was a little blurry, but you can plainly hear its a raven.
