More from Banksy.

This one was accredited to “Local Artist and Damien Hirst” Damien Hirst is also a local artist! Julia

There has been a bi-plane in the main hall at the museum for about as long as I can remember – Banksy added an escapee from Guantanamo Bay! Julia

This burnt out ice cream van doubled up as the enquiries office! Julia

This is my absolute favourite – the Lion got the Tamer! Ha! Julia

We let the Cygnets onto the Lake this morning. They are keeping out of peoples way who are going to the Lake and are spending all of the time at the far end to where we had released them. Where they were at Cricket, they would not have had a lot of contact with people, so it is going to take them a while to get use to our Holiday Guests and those fishing on the Lake. I would expect them to soon to get use to people and hopefully they will become friendly.

Last night we left them in a stable as it was to late to release them. When we collected them they were in large bags with just their heads and necks visible. They were please to be out of the bags but I thought that I may have had a bit of trouble catching them this morning. They all made threatening hisses when I was catching them, but they were less aggressive than I imagined they would be.

I am hoping that they will eventually use the island to settle at night. I went there this morning in the rowing boat, before we released the Cygnets to cut the grass, weeds and bull-rushes to make an area for them to use, it will make them a lot safer if they do use it. I should hope that until they get use to their new home they might stay on the water at night. I haven’t seen them on the banks of the Lake yet, that shows they are not confident of their new surroundings. They are going close to the bank where the Geese would lay at times. The water is quite shallow there, so the Cygnets are able to stand in the water.

MY TAME ROBIN. LYNNE.

A Jenny Wren has decided to nest by our kitchen door, inches from our head when we come and go. Other than last year one would nest in the same place every year. The previous year a Squirrel or Magpie pulled the nest apart after the Chicks had left the nest. Last year a Robin attempted to nest in the place but left the nest before the eggs had hatched. Probably we disturbed the Robin going in and out. I will try to find the time to fix a camera to show the nest.

Our three Black Swan Cygnets were delivered this afternoon, but after talking to the person who looks after the Birds at Cricket St Thomas who came with them we sent them back. I didn’t realise that the Cygnets needed to be on the Lake within a few days or they may have started to have problems. We would not try to put them on the Lake until the Geese and Goslings have left, as I am sure that the Geese will attack the Cygnets if we introduced them. Our intention was to house them in one of the Stables and after letting them get use to the noise and surroundings we would have let them out to walk around the Farm Yard until the Geese had left. By all accounts that is not a good idea as they need to have some period in the water or they may get leg problems with their weight be constantly on their legs. Once the Geese have left the Lake the Cygnets will be returning.

There are five new photographs on the Photo page from number six. Getting short of photographs.

The first three photographs were taken when we went to visit the new additions to Denbury.

A baby Reindeer taken at Cricket St Thomas. David.

A pair of black swans and there signets taken at Cricket St Thomas. Vicky.

I reckon Karen was visiting the Cricket St Thomas webcams as we were visiting the Wildlife Park ourselves this morning to check out the our new additions. As you can see in the photograph that I took this morning, the Buck or Bull as they are sometimes called is a fine looking fella, his name is Padfoot and is about four years old. At this time of year they shed their coats so they do look a little moth eaten. By the time that they arrive at Denbury they will look a lot tidier. The Female is named Fluer, she is two years old and has not started to get any meaningful antlers. She had a Fawn this year but unfortunately she sat on it whilst giving birth. I could have had an older female, but it would have meant waiting until the Fawn had been weaned off of the Doe. As soon as the Buck starts to loose the velvet, we shall collect him from the Wildlife Park with the Doe.

Whilst at the Wildlife Park we tried to get a photograph of the Black Swan Cygnets that we are also getting. Unfortunately the Swans and Cygnets were hiding in the reeds. As you can see on the Photo page, Vicky took a photograph of the same Swans and Cygnets on a visit to the Wildlife Park, when she was holidaying at Denbury, a few weeks back. The photograph of the Reindeer Fawn was taken at the same time by her friend David. Since Vicky took the photograph the Cygnet are quite a lot larger, and have started to get their feathers, so we can hopefully collect them in the early part of September. I will speak to Neil from WWT to make sure that we can take them from the Swans before we do. The Black Swans originate from Australia and New Zealand and are therefor from the Southern Hemisphere. Although they are in the Northern Hemisphere they still breed as if they were still in the Southern, so the Cygnets were born in February time.

As you know our new sponsor for supplying our Bird and Badger food is Jacobi Jayne. They are trying out our site on a trial. If they find that they are getting sales through people linking from the site they will continue, so if any of you do order Bird Feed please give them a try. Free phone 0800 072 0130

Over the next few days you will see that our website has been revamped. The top header will still be flash, but changing to some of the Wildlife that we show, rather than attractions, many of which are not represented on our website. Some of the other pages will be showing various advertising so that we will be able to earn some income to be able site webcams into more locations and to keep this website continuing. Every time that you click onto one of the advertisement we will get a very small payment, not even a penny but with your help by clicking on the advertisements the Penny’s will we hope soon become POUNDS, DOLLARS AND EUROS.
