Bringing our Wildlife to you!
Sorry that the Denbury Farm Web cams have been on and off today. We are just finishing off tidying the system up, to make some workspace available in the kitchen. There are five Swallow chicks in the nest. With that many mouths to feed, with this wet weather it could be that the chicks are […]
A bit of an update on people that we have been talking to with the possibility of installing web cams on their sites. The people from a site that I am very excited about, are coming to Denbury this month or early August. One of the other organisation was the Forestry Commission. Although those who […]
Rye Harbour update – It is not good news about the nesting seabirds. The continuing wet, cold and windy weather has taken a great toll on the small fluffy chicks of the terns and the gulls. Feeding has been difficult with stormy seas, so the chicks get hungry and weak and don’t hide when danger […]
The clearing up the damage that was caused by the flood on Monday, has hardly started. It doesn’t matter where you start there is always another place that you should be doing first. How such an insignificant unnamed stream became such a raging torrent I will never understand or know. The stream would be no […]
Because of a major flood at Denbury, that has caused substantial damage, I will be unable to do a Diary. Hopefully we should have cleared up by Thursday. I will let you know all about it in the next Diary. I hope none of you have been caught out, as we were. I have seen […]
Sorry all, very little has happened to make a Diary tonight. Other than I have spent the whole day installing the DVR recorder, that to say the least I am fed up with it. It is nearly finished (I hope) The rain I must admit is giving me the hump. The hay needs making. The […]
It looks as if I was wrong about the Swallows nest that has been built on an electric junction box. This morning there was half of an egg shell on the side of the nest, and the way that the adult has been acting there could well be chicks in the nest. If the adult […]
Rye Harbour seabirds update – the general survival of the chicks has been good, but the main Black-headed Gull on the webcam has lost a couple of chicks, but that means more for the survivor. The Gull feeds by regurgitating food (insects, worms or fish… and sometimes chips!) whereas the Terns bring in a single […]
The Diary will be short tonight as we only decided that the Horses were going to be stabled overnight at 8.30pm. By the time we have bedded the stables up, hayed and watered the Horses, fed the Badgers, it will be time to sit and watch the telly for half an hour. I would rather […]
At Rye Harbour last night we had a big thunderstorm and lots of rain… and power cuts, so that explains why our webcams went black for a while. I was concerned that the Common Tern chicks might have suffered, but they all look OK this morning. There are 3 types of food being brought in, […]
