Bringing our Wildlife to you!
When I turned the camera onto the single Swallow chick this morning, it had gone. I was surprised that it had survived for as long as it did with the way it perched itself on the side of its nest. I dreaded looking at the nest when I came down in the morning. Last evening […]
As you can see Lady and the Filly are back home. They arrived this afternoon, and looked no worse from the journey from Dorset. I must admit I was pleased to see them. I am not to sure Woody was, for no sooner than she saw Lady and Foal when we put Woody into her […]
At last the Sheep are penned up. This evening two Sheppard’s, something I am definitely not, came with their dog to round the Sheep up, and pen them in for shearing. The Sheep were in some other farmers field, with the wood in between. We needed to drive around the road to get to the […]
A couple of you have asked about Woody again, There is no change in her condition, other than she is still loosing weight. How long she can go on loosing the weight without her being to weak to get about, I really don’t know. We know now that there is nothing else than we can […]
We have had two Birds on the feeder today, that dont usually use it. One was a Green Woodpecker who we see and hear near to the farm house dailey. Unlike the Great Spotted Woodpecker that visits the Bird feeders all day long, they normally feed off of the ground, eating ants and other insects, […]
Although it has been very overcast, it has been quite warm, so warm that we have been able to sit out side to have have our tea and coffee through the day. On one occasion when we got up to go back into the house, a Jenny Wren with at least four Chick flew out […]
I really don’t know what has happened to the Swallow chicks. There were three alive last night. This morning I thought that there were three, but had not seen three feed. I went and checked the nest, some of you saw my hand. There were three, but one had died. I later checked again and […]
Thank you all in the USA, who offered me an address for the SkyScout. I really do appreciate you offers of help. Strange thing is that Susan the person who is going to do it for me, is from Taunton, and moved to the US many years ago. Susan Brother still lives in Taunton, about […]
The Lock of the Lowe’s Osprey Diary reported that the last born chick had died last night. For a few days, a number of those using our Forum, could see that it was struggling to get the food that it needed. The Manager of the Centre told me that nearly every year, all the chicks […]
Lady and the Foal will be at the Stud for about another week. She was unable to be mated on this cycle. I do not want her to be at the Stud any longer than necessary, so she will be induced to cycle early, in a day or so. I had a phone call from […]
