Bringing our Wildlife to you!
A few of you may have seen one of my lads on camera 2 today, on the lake, in a dingy. He was towing around four orange sacks. If you did see it on camera, It wasn’t meant to be quite like that. He was trying to submerge the four sacks that were filled with […]
The twin lambs are doing very well today, The Ewe is eating the grass and is looking a lot brighter, even calling out for the lambs, when she cant see them. The Ewe lamb has been getting a little milk from the Ewe with one lamb, she will creep up to the Ewe whilst her […]

Today we managed to renew the wire to the valley camera, it was broken in the high wind a few weeks back. I was surprised how far it is away from the Farm House, the piece of wire needing replacing was a 100m long, The camera is a good quarter of a mile away. I […]
The twin lambs did not look too good this morning, both were calling out and obviously had not been feeding as they should, The Ewe was definitely unhappy, scouring, pawing the ground and not eating, a good sign that she was likely to have a tummy upset, we gave both the Ewe and the lambs […]
You can just about see the heads of the Dove chicks emerging today, It may sound cruel but I reckon that they are, well if I say that they are unattractive, it would be an under statement, the real word is ugly, but when mature they are a very attractive bird. We let the Ewes […]
Every morning when we start work we are greeted by a hen Pheasant at the Farm House door, she is always pleased to see us, for she knows that she will get a handful of sunflower hearts that we feed to the birds in the feeders. With this particular bird it started when she would […]
At about 8.30pm last night there was one hell of a noise, very close to the farm house, it sounded as if a Fox was killing a Pheasant, it quite often happens, but this was going on far too long for a Fox and Pheasant, so we went out side to investigate and saw that […]
For as long as I can remember I have had or been been involved with horses, even when I lived in London I had Driving Horses, stabled in the middle of the East End. For two years I had an antique Horse Drawn Hearse, that I would hire out to Funeral Directors. The Horses we […]
As much as I want to let the Ewe and lambs out in the fields, I look at the lambs, they are so small I worry that they wont survive a prolonged wet spell. The weather forecasts are all over the place, I cant say that I trust them very much. Every time the Ewe […]
