Bringing our Wildlife to you!
I hope that you were lucky and saw the Red Deer Stag, late this afternoon. As soon as I saw it I put it on all of the webcam pages. I knew that there was a Stag near the farm, as for most of the afternoon I had heard him roaring. As soon as I […]
Elsie, if you like the Sheep that much, how many do you want? We are going to keep a few, not sure which one yet. It is a difficult decision. It would be nice to keep the Portlands as they are a rare breed and they normally only have one lamb and most of them […]
Elsie, the Sheep with horns are Portland, classified as a rare breed. Karen, there were 16 Badgers a couple of months back. I counted 15 a few weeks back before I found the dead Badger in the lane at the end of our driveway. There could still be 15. With the last two nights being […]
Julia was concerned about the size of the Dairy Cows udder, that she saw. I must admit that very large udders do look uncomfortable for the Cow. The size of a Cow udder is a gradual increase as they get older and as the time that the lactation goes on. The Cow will not notice […]

This Blue-tongue virus is a bit of a worry. fortunately we are a long way from the outbreak. Cold spells normally will kill midges off, although last year with the very mild Winter we had midges about for most of the year. Some Horses get a condition called Sweet itch that is caused by a […]
Denbury, although only about 6 miles from Taunton is very out of the way, it is not isolated, the village that we come under is within half a mile. Mind you there is nothing there other than private houses, occupied mostly with those who think that they are a better type of people than they […]
Sorry, there will not be a diary entry tonight as we are going out for dinner. The webcams will pages will put on so that you will be able to see as much as possible.
This morning we were standing by the stables whilst the Farriers was attending to Bliss. A Robin that we often see, was picking up the left overs from the Horses morning feed, it is always about when we are mucking out or feeding the Horses. All the time we were outside the Robin was within […]
