An icy wind blew from the North, there was a lot of rain in the night, and still a cold drizzle coming down when I left the house at 7.25 a.m. Earlier, not a single raven call, nor any bird songs were to be heard.
No ravens called in Llandaff Fields, and not one turned up as I got to the top of the big field. As it was pretty uncomfortable for me as well, I trudged home, all scraps still in my pocket.
Now, as i write, a watery sun has broken through the clouds - but I am waiting for people to turn up to do some work in the house, so I cannot go out again.
Bad luck, ravens - hopefully a better day tomorrow!
