The Wildlife and Cultures of Ethiopia Adventure (see www.redfernadventures.com) takes in the most incredible wildlife and cultural locations which Ethiopia has to offer.

During the itinerary, we visit the Simien Mountains, and on past trips we have seen the spectacular thick-billed Raven (Corvus crassirostris).

This amazing bird has a massive bill which is uses to scavange. It is often seen eating rodents and bits of meat.

The tick-billed raven is so called, because its bill is the largest of any passerine at 8–9 cm (3.1–3.5 in) in length.

This video was shot during a 2017 Redfern expedition to Ethiopia!
