| Re: Odd Raven behaviour in the Lake District
Pete,
I'm far from being an expert on bird or animal behaviour but I'm sure that they will associate walkers sitting down on the fells with a food supply. I remember a number of years ago we were sat in the summit shelter on Helvellyn one spring day. We had the shelter to ourselves, a rare occurrence, and were enjoying our sandwiches when a ewe came into the shelter looking for food. At the time we had our dog with us at time and it wasn't too happy with this intrusion but the ewe wouldn't back off. It was only when I got up and chased it off that I saw it had left its lamb to come to the shelter.
