The Barn Owls have stopped eating the food that we have been putting in the mobile aviary. We have not seen or heard them returning, so it could be that they have found some where safe to stay. They could be returning to the aviary and we have missed them or they may have flown to a different area. In a week or so I will check around our Farm building to see if I can find any sign of them at Denbury.

I keep trying to find the time to clear a view from the camera to the bird feeder that some of you have asked to be put on the webcam. The view is being stopped by brambles. I normally cut them back with a strimmer, but the two that I have are not working that well and wont do the job. I will need to break them down with a stick as soon as I get the time.

The Sheep are being a nuisance again. The seed potatoes in our neighbours field on the other side of the Wood have been harvested, so they have decided to go back to the field as it is being sown with a new crop. The Farm is not best pleased with me. We have managed to get twelve of them into one of the Barns but the rest are being a bit elusive. Ewy is not helping as every time we try to move them into the direction of the Barn she is the first to start running in the opposite direction causing the rest to follow. As soon as we can pen them all in the Barn I will wean the Lambs from the Ewes and send the Lambs to market. With a lot of the Sheep in the Barn, Thornton has started to be a Dog again. He has for the past few days been coming into the Farm House every night.

The price of cereals have halved from what they were last year. See if the Supermarkets and Bakers reduce the price of bread. I bet not. All animal feed including pet food will have cereal in them so they should also go down in price. Your breakfast cereals will cost a lot less to produce. With the wet summer most root crops will have grown well. Potatoes would have done particularly well. By rights food should start to be less. Let see if it happens.

The Barn Owls are still taking the food we put out of an evening. A number of our Holiday Guests who went to see the Badgers last night saw one of them perched on the main Badger camera tower. It flew in the direction of our Barns when it saw them. We have over the years we have been at Denbury allowed a number of areas to grow into the habitat that Barn Owls find their food supply of Voles and the Mice. The main area is in the Badger field. It is nearly an acre in size. We are unable to let stock into the Field because of the holes that the Badgers have dug, and the risk of any live stock injuring themselves if their legs go into them.

I have recently come back from a stay in Wales and while I was there I visited Powis Castle and the lovely gardens they have there and took some pictures that you might like to post on the website.Bec

The Northern Light webcam can now be accessed. The camera need adjusting to the front of the camera housing. That will make a wider angle and get rid of the circle frame. I don’t think that it will be until next week until that is done. The webcam will also need to be restarted every 10 to 15 minutes. The thumbnail to access the webcam needs to have some text put onto it. Today is meant to be the first day that the light may be able to be seen so I have made it available before it is completely finished. The Northern Lights do not happen every night. There is a Northern Lights link at the top of the page that will give you more details. The Hotel manager is out today. When he is next in I will speak to him for information for he has a good knowledge of the Lights.

The two Barn Owls returned last night and should do for a few night. We will keep putting their feed into the aviary until they stop coming back. We will then know that they are finding food for themselves. When their feed was taken up this evening you could here that they were excited that it was coming. I should think that this is the first time that it has been possible to see a live Barn Owl release. I must admit I thought that they would have stayed close to the aviary for the first couple of nights, but I think that they must have left the area within an hour of the top of the aviary being opened. I did record it last night and see what time they returned. I will go between the Badgers and the Barn Owls with the webcam as I did last night, concentrating mainly on the Owls.

The Barn Owls are being released this evening. I would think that it will be about 7.10pm The Owls will be encouraged into their box inside the mobile aviary with a piece of sponge put into the hole with a string attached to the sponge leading to the outside of the aviary. This to stop the Owls from panicking whilst the top of the mobile aviary is lifted up. When the top is lifted the sponge will be removed by pulling the string allowing the Owls to find their way out of the aviary. They should return to the mobile aviary for a few days. Hopefully they will find a barn that they will roost in over the Winter. There is a chance that they may stay close to Denbury, but they may make a home further away. I have put a larger infra-red lamp up this afternoon, so hopefully we should be able to see more.

Yeadon pupil overcoming disorder

For most people, donkeys conjure up images of the seaside but for five-year-old Edward Wright they are opening up communication with the outside world.

Edward has selective mutism, an isolating childhood disorder which has prevented him from talking outside his own home.

For the past year he has been learning to overcome his disorder with the help of donkeys. Edward, a pupil at Yeadon Westfield Infant School, has been making progress since he began visiting a donkey riding therapy centre on the outskirts of Leeds, the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust.

Now he has appeared on television giving instructions to donkeys at the centre.
