We have been having a huge (even by Raven standards) raven visiting our back patio almost every day for well over a month now. Started when I was out of town visiting my cancer-ridden sister for the last time. :( My husband saw it first.
Since I returned one or both of us see it generally between 9-11 AM. Sometimes our dog will see and chase it off, other times it just leaves after a short "visit." We have no idea what it means, or why it keeps coming. Beautiful bird. I have looked into various beliefs and legends, but still don't have a clue what it is trying to tell us. (Husband heritage is mostly Germanic, mine is mostly Irish and Scotch/English.) We live somewhat rurally now.

A distinct black shape, tumbling in the updrafts of a mountain crag – a raven at play. The ‘gronking’ call of a raven is one of the most evocative sounds of Britain’s uplands.
