It was dry and reasonably mild this morning, the sun was up, but still watery and feeble, and we'd not heard any raven calls.
We left the house at 7.25 a.m. - but that is Summer Time: the clocks went forward today, so it actually was 6.25 a.m. according to yesterday's clock.
We had a long walk, firstly all the way round the quarry field and then the small arboretum, so that Miss Bonnie got some exercise, seeing that I cannot let her off her lead yet.
This astonished the ravens, since we came to the enclosure in the ravens field from the far side, where the allotments are. But first one, then the other of the young pair did come flying in, sitting on the fence posts, then going into the enclosure to pick up some scraps.
