Bringing our Wildlife to you!
Woody died this afternoon. It was a very difficult decision to have to make and one that I really did not want to make. Even up to the last minute I nearly stopped it from happening, but I knew that I would be stopping it for my feelings and not for Woody’s suffering. I just […]
The eggs in the Swallows nest at the top of roof have hatched. It looks like the chicks are a few days old by the down that they have on them. I think that I have counted five chicks. I wasn’t sure if there were any eggs in the nest, It seemed to close from […]
I do hope that many of you caught that eyeful just after 8.pm, of the small herd of Red Deer with their Calves. They all seemed to be really enjoying themselves, prancing and racing around the field. I counted six adults and two Calves, but there could well have been a lot more. They didn’t […]
We put up the new wire for the camera for the new webcam at the Trust. It will be in a barn that has a nest box and perching area focused on the orphaned Barn Owls. They are free to come and go as they please, so it should be interesting watching them. We have […]
The three Red Deer that we saw a lot of last Winter, showed themselves this evening, one of them had a Calf. It is the first time that I have seen them for a while. I regularly hear them in the woods when we walk the valley. We heard them this afternoon when we went […]

The Veterinary came out today to scan Lady to check if she is in Foal, blood test Willow and do her markings for her passport. Breeze was also examined, and he also had to look at Blisse foot. As we expected Lady scanned in Foal. I was confident that she was, but we needed to […]
We have a farmer very close to Denbury, he has little or no respect for wildlife or the public or other peoples property, when he is out shooting. Unfortunately he has taught his sons to be the same. Back in the spring I found the son shooting in a wood that is adjacent to my […]
I also read about the Golden Eagle being poisoned to stop it from taking the Grouse. The glorious twelfth they call the start of the game shooting season. It is any thing but glorious, in my opinion for what it is worth game shooting is the most evil of all blood sports. Worse even than […]
Woody has been quite ill for the past two days, so much so, they for the past two nights we have had to keep her stabled, I also thought that I would have to get the Veterinary in to have her put to sleep. She was lying flat out and obviously in a lot of […]
