At 59cm, Large-billed Crows (also known as Jungle Crows, Thick-billed Crows or Japanese Crows) are 5 centimetres bigger than Australian Ravens. In this movie we see them harass an adult Steller's Sea-eagle. We can see and hear the eagle cry-out at one point. Sadly, I just used the Nikon 1 V1 in-built mic with settings for wind reduction so the sound is soft. When I was standing there, it was quite loud and clear. The movie was taken on February 21, 2015 in Niigata, Japan.
I'm sorry, it's not really a nice movie so to cheer you up, below is a photo at a restaurant I recently visited in Niigata City, Japan.

Great stuff Russ, what a terrific bird. How are you finding the V1?
Cheers and all the best

Great video Russell. I'll bet most people watching that were rather hoping the eagle would do its stuff on a raven?
Well I guess that in 2015 some men do use powder but count me out!
Perfect for Japanese metrosexual young men..........
