The ravens are one of the most famous features of the Tower of London. Their presence is traditionally believed to protect the Crown and the Tower; a belief holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it." The earliest known reference to captive ravens at the Tower is an illustration from 1883.
Having spent the afternoon around the Tower trying to capture the calls of the ravens among the thousands of tourists, we finally get lucky. Two of the ravens are perched on a quiet section of wall away from the crowds, and we're able to get up close with the microphone to hear them clucking and cooing, communicating with us and each other for a few special moments.
