Pandas After The Earthquake

The earthquake was right in the area where giant pandas live.

Most pandas are protected well, especially those babies, even if they were scared a lot.

Right after earthquake. They rushed out and some stayed together.

I will do a weeekly Diary, and as the night draw in we finish the Farm work earliers so if there is anything interesting happening I will let you know.

The reason I did not have a Great Tit in this box this year

I was going to put a few photographs on the Photo Page of the new Chickens that we got last night, but it has been raining all of this afternoon and we are wet through and I really don’t want to be outside getting wet for a photograph. We only got four. That was one Black and one White Silkie Pullet that are fourteen weeks old and one Black and one Gold Silkie Chick. We would have had a few more but that was all that the breeder had left. We did get nineteen hatching eggs that we are going to incubate and we will put them on the Hatching webcam when they are due to hatch. We use to have Chickens and Geese on the Farm some years ago but the Fox got the Chicken and when one of the Geese was taken we gave the others away. We wouldn’t like it to happen with these that we have now as they are a big favorite and very friendly with our Holiday Guest.

There were four Canada Geese on the Lake this morning. They flew on to the Pond quite early and stayed there for most of the day. This evening I noticed them on the webcam on the other side of the electric fence so I tried to encourage them back onto the Lake with bread. I wasted my time. One of the Gosling who had flown off had returned. All of the Geese are now on the Lake. All I hope is that they stay there as they have no protection against predators around the Pond area.

The new webcam that I mentioned yesterday is not any Wildlife, but be assured it will be very popular and a great one for the Autumn and Winter time. I will keep winding you up with progress reports

The 2 swans in my previous photo’s have got one cygnet. Which is one better than last year, she didn’t manage any. Merrilyn.

Some how I missed Merrilyns photographs from a couple of weeks back. I will put the rest on tomorrow. THAT IS THE LAST THAT WE HAVE. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SEND THEM IN. MAYBE THE WHINGERS MAY PUT THEIR MIND TO SENDING SOME PHOTOGRAPHS IN, INSTEAD OF WHINGING.

I am going to make a phone call to the US Virgin Islands tomorrow. I know that they are very keen to get the underwater webcam going, so I don’t know what the problem is other than Peter has not been about to pass the equipment over through him having problems with his injury.

There are still outstanding webcam opportunities that I need to follow up. I am also talking to people about a very exciting webcam. I Cant tell you to much as it may get pirated. All that I will tell you is that there is only one webcam that does the same and a charge of $20 is made yearly to view it. The owner of the location is very interested and is getting her website person to talk with me. I will follow it up this week. If I get a negative answer there are other location that I can try. The webcam will be a good addition as it is a winter webcam. Don’t start guessing and put the guesses on the Forum as you may although very unlikely get it correct. Then I wouldn’t approve it as I don’t want the idea to get known until we start.I had to laugh at one of this weeks Holiday Guests. I noticed that he was taking some photographs out side of his Cottage with out Chickens nearby. When I enquired what he was photographing, he showed a Paxo Stuffing packet an was trying to get photograph of the Chicken with the packet. If he got it I will put it on the Photo Page.

If it had not been for two of our Holiday Guests and Wendy having taken photographs whilst the Sheep were being sheared there would not have been a today Photograph of Thornton before shearing or the shearing in progress as I had lost the photographs that I had taken when I thought I had down loaded them.

Thornton before his hair cut. His long fleece was making him very uncomfortable. Lorraine.

Thornton’s turn, little undignified. Wendy.

Shock and horror. Is it Thornton.

Thornton going off with his mates.

Ewy with her two Lambs after the remainder of her fleece being removed. There wasn’t a lot left to take off.

After going through my previous years diaries I found the phone number of Alex the person who has done our Sheep Shearing in the past. He is very good and competes in shearing contests at County Shows. He came early this morning and with his Sheep dog got our Sheep into the holding pen we had put up. His dog soon rounded the Sheep up in the Horse Field and pushed them into the direction of the pen. The Sheep decided they were not going to go in the pen on the first try. Mind you that was my fault as I had decided to get my camera from the Farm House to get the photographs and there was no one to stop the Sheep from taking the only route to freedom. The second attempt with the help of a couple our Holidays Guests was successful. One of the Ewes made a dash for freedom, as she was loosing her fleece naturally it wasn’t that important that she was sheared. We also managed to get Ewy captured. Most of her fleece had naturally fallen but there was still a bit to come off. Thornton followed into the pen not knowing what was going to happen.

From the pen we had made the Sheep were put into the shearing holding trailer pen that Alex had come with. The Sheep were all cramped in tight so as to make it easier to catch them when it was their turn for shearing. Alex was very fast shearing. It took him less time to shear our eleven Sheep than it had taken to round them up. Thornton didn’t protest like we thought that he may have done, he was very good and I should think feels a lot cooler no that his fleece has gone. He looks a little flea bitten but should look better in a few weeks time.

Tass and Kye cant make out what has happened to Thornton. They are constantly going up to him and sniffing around him in amazement.

ALL TAKEN IN THE MOSS VALLEY NEAR SHEFFIELD
LYNNE.

The Geese intruders have been coming to the Lake most days. Our pair with the Goslings are starting to get use to them and the Gander has stopped attacking them. He just marches back and forward on one side of the electric fence with the intruders on the other. Last year another pair of Geese must have nested by the pond. The area was well over grown that must have given them protection from any predators. This year other than a small area around the pond has been mowed leaving it open. As last year I did consider putting into the pond a floating island made from a pallet so that the intruder could nest. I don’t think that it would be a good idea, especially as this morning the bottom two wires of the electric fence around the Lake were loose where some thing has tried to get into the Lake area.

Some of the Bantams that hatched over the weekend needed a bit of help in breaking out of the shell. Two that I needed to do had nearly broken all around the shell mid morning time. As far as I could see the Chick should not have had any problem getting out. By mid afternoon there was very little movement. On looking I could see that the Chicks were not going to get out as the membrane had dried out and was sticking to the Chicks. On breaking away the shell it looked as if I was to late to save then. I broke most of the shells away and one was having a good try, the other was all but finished, so I removed it from the shell and damped both down with water to get rid of the dry membrane and shell that was restricting their movements. It seemed to have done the trick as both after a good few hours started to look a lot better. Both seem to be alright at the moment. Although there is a chance that they may not survive. One of the two is only half of the size of the other Chicks, it is really tiny. The eggs were an assortment of eggs from various purebred Bantam that may have cross bred, so we wont know what type it is, or any of the other until they get a bit older.
