It was raining, easing to drizzle, then strengthening to rain again as I left at the usual time of 7.30 a.m.
No raven calls earlier in the morning, but lots of robins singing. The sun was hidden behind the rain clouds.
No ravens until I came to the ravens field - and the young pair were the only ones who turned up. They picked the scraps in a desultory fashion, flying off quickly, probably because there were even more dogs around today. Well, it is half term, so people's time tables in regard to walking their dogs change.
So I went back home with a pocket full of scraps left.
I'll have to think about when to go and feed the ravens - even earlier, or quite a bit later.
We'll see.
