It was mild this morning, but grey, slightly damp, and there was no sun. Because of the rain yesterday, the ground was very muddy. We left the house at 7.20 a.m. - which, for the ravens, was again 6.20 a.m., seeing that they don't use our clocks!
So it did not surprise me that we didn't hear any raven calls, nor did we notice any ravens in any of the tree tops.
We walked up to the enclosure in the big field, but the quarry pair did not appear.
Then we walked on, into the ravens field - no ravens until we were right at the enclosure. Then the young pair appeared, sitting on the fence posts.
