I have been trying to get a fixed camera positioned on to the branch that we put into the lake to try to get the Kingfisher to fish from. It has landed onto the branch a few times, not so frequently that it would warrants leaving the main lake camera that has a bird feeder on it during the day, permanently on the branch. As we haven’t managed as of yet to find another Birds nest, we will alternate the nest camera with the new Kingfisher camera, that way we should see a little more of the Kingfisher. There is still a good chance that there will be another Swallow nest to show. It is not to late for some of the Swallow to nest again. The picture we have got with the new camera is not to great. I will try another camera tomorrow, and hopefully put it on.

A few week ago after Kye initially trying to be friendly with the sheep in the pen, started to chase the lambs, who were still free range. She was only trying to play with them. Unfortunately unless dogs are stopped they will eventually harm the sheep. Kye had to be stopped and it wasn’t easy. If you don’t stop them they will chase any sheep they see, if they don’t attack the sheep they will chase them to exhaustion. At that stage they are liable to kill them. We had to be very hard with Kye, she seems now to have stopped the chasing.

The hay is close to the Sheep pen. Where Kye would normally go to the pen to watch the sheep through the bars, she now wants nothing to do with them. In fact she really pretends that she cant see them at all, and will lay completely out of site of the sheep. It did start off as play with the sheep, as she did with the Horses. The Horses are able to look after themselves. All of our dogs have always walked behind the Horses pushing them on, when the are taking them in and out of the fields at feed times, and other necessary movements. On more than one occasion Tass has had a kick from one or another Horse. Tass nips at the feather on the Horses feet, she will get away with it most of the time, but every now and then the Horse will throw out one of their rear legs, when Tass hasn’t moved away quickly enough she gets a wallop. Kye is doing the same, it wont be long before she get one to.
