Bringing our Wildlife to you!
By luck, not so lucky for a last year Portland Ewe lamb, there are now ten Sheep in the field that I an now putting them in. A few day ago I saw her caught up with a piece of electric fencing wire, tangled around her back foot and a fence post. I was on […]
We checked Lady’s foaling dates, and they are correct, so she is about three weeks overdue. I should think that it may be to do with Woody being unwell. Lady has always been very dependant on Woody. Woody’s illness has caused her to stress out a bit. When ever Woody crashes out in the paddock, […]
After checking Lady last night, before going to bed, I was drawn to open the boot of my car, that is always parked outside our entrance door. Why I was drawn to it, I really don’t know, I have never done it before, and there was no reason for it. I reckon someone up there […]
Whilst i was finishing off the hoses out side this evening, the two pairs of Geese flew in. Five minutes later another pair were above, looking to land on the lake
The Ewe that got savaged by a dog last year, had twin lambs last night. She had been named as Cookie. I tried to go up to her and the lambs to check the three of them out, but she ran away into the woods, with the lambs in tow, finding it difficult to keep […]
Woody has not stopped having very unwell periods, since I last told you about her. It comes on so quickly, without any warning. A couple of days back, when we turned her out in the paddock, she seemed to be the best she had been for a long time. With out exaggeration, she came out […]
With the weather as it is, nice and warm in the day, and freezing of a night, we have to take the horses rugs off in the day, and put them back on of a nightime. with the older Horses there is not a problem. The younger Horses are not use to it, they want […]
The Squirrels have started to use the Squirrel feeder that can be viewed by the main Badger camera. Once we put a Bird feeder nearby, the Squirrel soon found the feeder. There were two on it this morning, having a push and shove to see who was going to stay. It is a good spot […]
Panning the camera around the lake, looking for the Geese this morning, I caught sight of a large Crucian Carp, just under the surface of the water. As the Geese had done a bunk again, I spent a little time looking at the Fish. The water was a little bit scummy, that is caused by […]
I would not profess to being a Sheep farmer, I can trim their feet and do general sheep husbandry, all the other jobs like sheering etc, I leave to the professionals, who we pay. I only keep sheep to improve the pasture after the Horses have grazed the fields and paddocks. Horses are fussy eaters, […]
