Bringing our Wildlife to you!
I was pleased and surprised to see the young Buzzard on the pole in the valley this morning. Going by the forum it had been there for at least two hours. I must admit that I had not noticed it perched there when I changed the cameras over, and only when I was reading the […]
Beth, USA. Doves in the UK, or a least at Denbury breed all year. As you can imagine we do have a few here. Karen. That was a Pheasant that you saw earlier this evening. We don’t get any Grouse in the West Country or a least not at Denbury. I should think that you […]
Karen asked about a camera in my favorite field. I purchase a piece of apparatus a few months back with the intention of putting a camera up there. The idea of the piece of equipment was that it allows the main transmission wire, coaxial cable to also carry a 24volt power supply to work the […]
We have managed to get the new tower for the main Badger camera up today. I thought that it was going to be a little smaller than the telegraph pole that is currently being used. To my surprise it is the same size of 8 metres. We have got to get a bracket to attach […]
Chris Speering from the Hawk ad Owl Trust visited the Farm on Monday. All in all it was a very interesting meeting, and we learnt a lot from the couple of hours that he was here. We may be lucky with the Kingfisher, for they do not always migrate. If there is plenty of food […]
The fish and chips shop we use in Minehead is called the Sheppards Plaice, Alcombe Road. It has recently been taken over. Although the food is very good and cooked fresh why you wait, is just a tiny bit not as good as it was, with the previous owners. Don’t dare use the shops that […]
Not showing the Bird feeder and Squirrel nest as mentioned on the forum is down to me being a bit lazy. In between the camera and the feeders there are a large amount of bramble, that grows into the view of the camera. I do try to knock it back, but unfortunately they are very […]
Peter the Manager of the Lock of the Lowe’s sent me this link of photographs of Ospreys. As Peter I like the photo of the Osprey catching two fish at once. There are also a variety of other wildlife photographs. http://www.miguellasa.com/gallery/1001578#33603804 I haven’t seen the Kingfisher for nearly a week now. I have left the […]
We put up the new wire for the camera for the new webcam at the Trust. It will be in a barn that has a nest box and perching area focused on the orphaned Barn Owls. They are free to come and go as they please, so it should be interesting watching them. We have […]
The three Red Deer that we saw a lot of last Winter, showed themselves this evening, one of them had a Calf. It is the first time that I have seen them for a while. I regularly hear them in the woods when we walk the valley. We heard them this afternoon when we went […]
