I'm not much of a photographer but here is a photo of a family of choughs near my house. There is usually about 15 in a family but sometimes 2 groups come together. Fascinating birds.

Thanks Greg, can you get a closer one at all? I have never seen one of them.

Sorry, that is me standing about 20m away, any closer and they fly away, I don't have a better lense. They are quite happy for me to stand and watch, so long as I don't get too close.
