What a fortunate choice

Of walking places that is. I was going to go for a walk in the park down in the village but instead headed out to Cwm Mawr which is further along the valley. It is a now disused site where once there was coal mining. Now it is a large park where people go for exercise, dog walking and whatever. Walking in the dappled shade of trees I heard the distinct cronk of a raven, and then another answering. And for a couple of hundred metres I was accompanied by the sounds and sight of a pair of ravens. There are more in the valley every year and I welcome and celebrate their return. They are making their way back into England too, even into urban areas round Manchester.
They will pick our bones clean when we are all dead.
