Bringing our Wildlife to you!
Just before I went to bed last night I checked the valley webcam, I saw the Stag that was in the valley, in the afternoon laying down at the far end of the field. There were two Hinds with him, not one that he had with him a few hours earlier, in the afternoon. The […]
2 hind not one late as I was going to bed large herd a few years ago at Denbury
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 […]

We have put up a Barn Owl nest box today. Our barn that we converted into cottages has got Owl Holes at either end, they would have been there since the barn was built over a hundred years ago, to encourage Barn Owls that would help keep vermin down . Unfortunately they have never been […]
I tend to check the Sheep first thing in the morning by using the webam, when I reset the cameras from the nighttime views. It is now a habit with them being fenced in around the lake. I keep my hand on the controller, as soon as I see them I move the camera around […]
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 […]
