Bringing our Wildlife to you!
You can just about see the heads of the Dove chicks emerging today, It may sound cruel but I reckon that they are, well if I say that they are unattractive, it would be an under statement, the real word is ugly, but when mature they are a very attractive bird. We let the Ewes […]
Every morning when we start work we are greeted by a hen Pheasant at the Farm House door, she is always pleased to see us, for she knows that she will get a handful of sunflower hearts that we feed to the birds in the feeders. With this particular bird it started when she would […]
At about 8.30pm last night there was one hell of a noise, very close to the farm house, it sounded as if a Fox was killing a Pheasant, it quite often happens, but this was going on far too long for a Fox and Pheasant, so we went out side to investigate and saw that […]
For as long as I can remember I have had or been been involved with horses, even when I lived in London I had Driving Horses, stabled in the middle of the East End. For two years I had an antique Horse Drawn Hearse, that I would hire out to Funeral Directors. The Horses we […]
As much as I want to let the Ewe and lambs out in the fields, I look at the lambs, they are so small I worry that they wont survive a prolonged wet spell. The weather forecasts are all over the place, I cant say that I trust them very much. Every time the Ewe […]

The honking Geese leaving the lake woke us early this morning, and what a morning they woke us too. The sun was shining and the birds singing, what a change from the past two days, the worst this year. The fields are sodden and the wind was so fierce last night, that the main badger […]
The Ewe and lambs are still doing well, the lambs are feeding and prancing about like spring lambs. Unfortunately the weather has been to bad to let them out into the fields, they are very small and would get very wet and cold and quickly die of hypothermia. We do keep little rain macks for […]
There have been a number of unexplained strange incidents and apparitions in the house, these are some involving children. We moved into the house with our twin sons and although over the years the house had undergone many extension, alteration and additions , we felt renovation and some alterations were needed. The work unearthed Victorian […]
The Ewe and twin lambs have done really well overnight, the lambs have full bellies and are on their feet. One is a Boy (Ram Lamb) and the other a Girl (Ewe Lamb) We were unable to let them out as the weather has been horrible all day, torrential rain and gusting winds, probably the […]
