The ravens are back

I saw very little of the ravens over the summer. I think they were so many tourists with tasty food that they didn’t need me, thank you so very much. Now that it’s getting colder there are fewer ham sandwiches and almond biscuits to be had. Yesterday, my bag of cat food was back in demand.

First they ate from my hands, as usual, and flew off. Then one came back and landed on my head.

I’m glad they’re back.
