Bringing our Wildlife to you!
When we came down this morning we found that Jade our fourteen year old Springer Spaniel had died in the night. We had intended to take her to the Veterinary this morning, half expecting to have had to put her to sleep. We nearly decided to take her to the Veterinary last night, but the […]
The sun has brought the Swallow fledglings out flying about a break neck speed, darting, weaving in and out of the barns. They are strengthening themselves for their migration to Africa to follow their food source of flying insects, their main food. Depending on the weather than can stay in this country as late as […]
By the look of it a Swallow has started to nest already on the nest at the top of the roof. I could be wrong, but it does look very much like it. There is no reason why they should not be. We will have to keep an eye on it. For anyone who has […]
The Lock of the Lowe’s fitted a new camera today. A close up of where the Red Squirrel and Pine Martens can be seen. I had hoped that they may have got the Pan, Tilt and Zoom camera up and working, so that we could have seen the Osprey fledglings learning to catch fish from […]
More good news from the Barn Owl Trust. We have been asked to get involved with Web Cams where a wild pair of Barn Owls have nested for the past few years. It is in a Barn at a location near Liskeard in Cornwall. The Barn Owls nest box is in need of renewing. A […]
The Badgers may be slow coming out tonight as the Farmer in the field adjacent to the Badger field is mowing the grass. After telling you about the Colt Foal that was a kicker, it reminded me of a Cow that we once had. The Cow was a Charolais breed, you would know them if […]
I found the nesting site of the Kingfisher today, I went to the lake to try to get the focus adjusted on the fixed camera that I want to put on the branch that it lands on. As I was trying to adjust the camera, the Kingfisher flew right in front of me, into the […]
I spoke today to the person who I mentioned a week or so ago about the Water Vole. His name is Derek Gow and has a Web site www.watervoles.com. He breeds Water Vole in Devon and has done a number of release programs around the country. We didn’t get around to speaking about a release […]
It must be well over a week since the Swallow chicks left their nests and they are still returning. The first fledglings from the first nest perch on the wire every night, and sometimes in the day if it is raining. The fledgling from the roof nest are going back to the nest of a […]
I have purposely left camera 2 viewing the branch in the lake for a good part of today, as I have seen on my monitor the Kingfisher’s darting across the screen, so fast that if you blink you will miss them, and on quite a few occasions one has been landing on the branch. I […]
