Starting from number eleven there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.
I needed to ask Vicky who is staying on Holiday to let us have some photographs for tonight Photo Page or there would have only been a couple to go on. If you have any photographs please send them in.

People are predictable. Today at Pitpear Farm the next farm to Denbury up the Valley owned I believe by a Mr.Webber, there was a day of shooting. Mr.Webber was the person who we outbid for the Wood. I was told that he was very upset that he was outbid, and I should think even more so when I phoned him the day after telling him that the reason that we had purchased it was to stop him shooting in the Wood, and that under no circumstances was he, members of his family or any person that he may invite to shoot on his land were to be in the Wood with a firearm or to shoot into the Wood. Maybe today’s shoot had something to do with that.
When we visited the Wood last Sunday to look it over before the auction there was a Pheasant Feeder hanging from a tree. The feeders are put up to encourage Pheasant to the area so that they are easier to shoot. The feeder had been taken down the morning after I had phoned Mr.Webber. I don’t like Game Bird shooting I believe it to be the foulest of all blood sports and that includes Fox and Deer Hunting with Dogs. My beliefs put aside there are times when it has to be tolerated. We have another local Farmer who has shoots. What I have seen of the way it is organised I can just about tolerate it.
Because of other pressing work that needed doing on the Farm I was unable to see if any one was shooting in the Wood. The two times that I went to the Wood there was no one in it. After the coming week I will have more time. I will also start looking at the options of webcams to monitor the Wood. What ever I will make sure that no one enters the Wood for shooting.
There are people who should not be allowed Firearms Licences. Those people who are dangerous and those that do not consider other people or Wildlife. Those people should have their licences revoked.
