The wind have blown a very old apple tree down today. It hasn’t been over windy but with the ground still holding a lot of moisture after the wet winter it has weakened the roots and down it has come. It has not helped seeing the tree full of blossom and that it had fallen across the track that leads from the Farm House to our valley, completely blocking any way into the valley or I would have left it and let it carry on living. Most of the trees in the orchard are old cider trees and not what you would eat if you had the choice, but this one and a couple of the others were good eaters. Unfortunately we will have to cut it up.
As I said on Facebook – Yey congratulations Grandad !!!!

Now that is a sign of summer arriving ! Jenny x
Saw the first Swallows of the year yesterday.
Mr Farmer, I hope you will let me put this web site on your site as it is showing the shooting of rare birds in Malta. The police are arresting innocent campers on public ground in favor of the shooters. It shows Hen Harriers and a Little Bittern which could have come from the Somerset levels. The site is : http://www.chrispackham.co.uk/.

Mick,i have been following Chris Packham in Malta on You Tube,he’s done a short programme about the shootings,it’s been on since Monday,on at 9pm,not very nice viewing but you can see what is going on with migatory birds.
Mr Farmer, will the horses and sheep be going back in to the fields next month. I remember from other years about them going out in May when the new spring grass has grown.
I am so pleased about the Horse being rescued. I would have gone ape at the person that caused that to it thankfully Solo will be happy and content now it beggers belief how folk can be so heartless and cruel.. I like the carving very powsh cant wait to see the photo of this Wagon what a nice hobby….Well the badger cub were certainly enjoying there play, last nigh they are so delightful and a pleasure to see Karen Stoke
Loved the picture you posted Mr Farmer! Also I have managed to see the badger cubs! it brings back so many memories of past years!!!!!!!!!!!
Being it is St Georges Day today I thought that you may like to see a carving from one of my old wagons. The wagon is a 130 years old and has many nice carvings http://denburyfarm.co.uk/wildlife/wildlife-gallery/
Why is it that we are the only country that does not celebrate their national day?
Just heard the first Cuckoo of the year
Mr Farmer, It is not the one that I have just tracked from Africa as that is now in Northampton. It is the first of a few and no doubt one may pass by any your farm on its way north into Wales. We don’t seem to get many here any more just the ones passing through,
Mick
Oh No 10.30 pm your time looks like a live snake in the nest. If it is a water snake or eel would it eat the eggs!! When it pops it’s head up Lady just looks at it as if to say what is that. Showing No interest in eating it. Betty Canada
Two deer at the badger cam at 11.30pm UK time. Tucking in nicely to the food. Betty Canada
I am sorry that I havnt posted recently on the forum this is due to a few health problems but I have tried to keep up with all that is posted. Elsie Happy Anniversary to you and Harold. I am sorry that you are not having good weather in Bradford. We have had super sunshine all day for the past few days (not usual for Scotland ) but great for Mabel and her eggs. Thank you for your updates on the badgers Mr Farmer I am loving seeing them at the feeding station

Kingfisher on webcam one. at 19. 50 First I have seen this year It had just caught a fish that was a little to big or a quick feed that made it struggle to swallow.
There were two Badger Cubs out playing last night with six or seven other adults from the sett. Although with the number of Badgers I had seen I had guessed that there were cubs, there was not signs as in other years with the bedding being changed every few days or so. It was good to know that they were breeding. Later a Roe deer turned up for a feed so it was a busy night on the webcams.
What a cold Easter Sunday here in Bradford. overcast and trying to rain. Wonder when all this hot weather is coming that has been forecast for weeks. Supposed to be between May and September !!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Wow egg number 3, how exciting. Happy Happy Easter everyone. Betty Canada
Yay Happy Wedding Anniversary to you both Elsie and Harold Jenny xxx
