Starting from number six there are five new photographs on…

Starting from number six there are five new photographs on the Photo Page sent in by Lynne.

We saw one of the released Barn Owls on our way to the Lake a couple of days ago. It is very close to our large hay barn that the Barn Owl Trust put up two nesting boxes. I still have not managed to find the time looking to see if they have settled on the Farm.

Our new arrivals seem to have settled in well. More of the Emu are waiting at their main Field gate to meet me in morning for their feed. I will need to stop them or they will all be there one morning and I will find it difficult to get into give them their food.

The Rhea have also settled. They are using all of their Field rather than confining themselves to a small area. We are able top get quite close to them. Margaret came into their Field when I fed them a couple of days ago.

December time we should start getting eggs from the Emu. We will be incubating some and will show the hatching on the webcam. We will also let the Emu try to hatch their own. Now that Emu do not need a licence to keep we are hoping to be able to sell some of the Emu chicks when they have hatched.

We have seen both Red and Roe Deer in the Woods over the past few weeks, but we have not be able to see any on the webcams in the Valley. I cant imagine that they have not been in the Valley to graze as their is ample grass for them. In the far left hand corner where it narrows to the entrance to the next Field we have seen the Deer foot prints. I should think that the camera has not been in the right place at the right time.

We wont need to buy Thornton treats for a week or two with what Margaret has left for him. She has left biscuits and cereals, treats for the Horses and bread for the Chickens and Dennis. With Thornton spending more time with the Sheep he visits the Cottages early and Margaret and Marie missed him some days.

As from Sunday night I will be feeding the Badgers from about 5.20pm. I will then over the coming few weeks feed them 10 minutes earlier over a week so that I can see where I am going and our Holiday Guests get a chance to see the Badgers.

I have been speaking to Gudny a receptionist at the Hotel Ranga. It was she who had the camera angle changed. I will ask her if she will let me know when their is an Aurora. I am sure that she will as long as she is on duty.

Wow! Moose Bigger than horses! What beautiful antlers. Marie/NJ

As you know I very rarely mention names or put photographs of people on the Forum. Margaret will be an exception. On second thought if any of those who use the Forum holiday at Denbury I will put there photographs on the Photo page if they are taken with the animals that we have here.

I wont spoil Margaret’s entry on the Forum that she will be sure to write when she gets home, just a snippet of when she had a ride on Arnie. We usually let the Children who Holiday here have a short ride, but we rarely get the Adults ask. Maybe they do not like to ask. Margaret did have a Ride on Arnie on a lead rope. We are sure that she really did enjoy most of the ride but her face initially told a different story. I was tempted to get Margaret to sit facing backwards but she realised when I told her to put the wrong foot in the stirrups. Arnie being the big lad he is it is not easy to mount him. We have had a mounting block built to make it easy to get on him. Margaret needed the block and a leg up from Chris, it was easy going from then. Arnie is for sure Margaret’s favorite.
