Description This is one of the ravens at Tower of London. I suppose I'm not the only one with a picture of him.


Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
-Edgar Allan Poe

Thank you.
He does look like he's got character. Probably a bit of a diva from all the tourists hovering around.

Beautiful creature, I suppose he quite likes his photo being taken by the looks of him, lol.

I guess so. He kept hopping closer until I was the one who was forced to move. And it doesn't show on the picture, but my girlfriend's face is about four inches from his.
