Starting from number eleven there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.

The photographs below and more were sent to me as possible webcam site by Christopher Quigley. We never heard back from him.

We still have lots of photograph to put on the Photo Page, some sent in as long as three weeks back.

Arnie and Thornton are well over there illness’s. Arnie is coming in at night at a trot, something he had lost for a few weeks.

As for Thornton he seem to have got a new life and is now as good as the boss of Tass and Kye. He wont stand any nonsense from them and puts his head down to let them know that they will get a butt. On walks with Tass and Kye it is Thornton who instigates any play, and especially with Tass. They play very well, with Thornton playing very much like a Dog. As long as Thornton is in earshot, all that needs to be said to Tass and Kye are you coming for a walk and Thornton appears ready to go as well.

The Sheep came back today with Ewy in the flock. When we get the Sheep into Lamb it will be interesting to see if Ewy comes in with them.

Sorry that we gave you short notice about the Scottish Wild Cat Talk that is Live tonight. Hopefully it will be recorded and we will show it again.

What can you make of this tree ladies, from my cousins collection. Sue.

These photos are just some of the owls at the Rutland Falconry and Owl Centre. Merrilyn.

This morning I heard the the Goose that had woken us for the past few morning as I was feeding the Horses. When I checked the webcam there was one that I managed to get on the webcam. It was on the Lake for half an hour. I wondered if it may have been the Goose that lost he Goslings and Gander earlier in the year. For a change for as well as the Goose there were a pair of little Grebe and a few Mallard.

I spoke to Peter from the Lock this afternoon. On the 3rd or 4th of January there is going to be a talk at the Lock on the Wild Cat and we are going to broadcast it live on Wildlife TV. It will be a first for us. Although the webcams are all real-time live they all concentrate on on Animals and Birds. Never on humans. Peter is sending me a copy of the poster advertising the talk. I will put it on the Photo Page when I receive it. Peter or myself will keep you up to date with all the information.

FOUR PHOTOGRAPHS FROM CLUMBER PARK. LYNNE.

This is what remains of the village of Hallsands Devon, the rest fell into the sea.

Pennywell Farms two Female Reindeer went home yesterday. I have got to admit that I was pleased to see them go for they have been hard work. Both wanted to be the boss from when they first arrived. That wasn’t such an issue until feeding time when they would eat all the feed between them leaving our Females not getting any food, I finished up standing with the Reindeer for about twenty minutes at both the morning and evening feeds to make sure that all of the Reindeer had their fair share. If you noticed the darker Pennywell Female on the webcams she was a bully and for ever chasing any females that got to close to her. I should think that she went back ti Pennywell a bit lighter than when she arrive.

What a performance it was trying to catch them yesterday to load them into the vehicle for their return journey. One we managed to catch within a very short time with just three people. The other one, the dark one again was a pig. It was just as well that I don’t own a gun or she would have finished up as venison on a plate. We chased around for that animal for well over an hour. From one end of the Reindeer paddock to the other would be getting on for a couple of hundred metres. Believe you me it felt like it after running up and down it a few times. It didn’t help as our Lads were on a job elsewhere. Even when one arrived back it didn’t help a lot. He manages to slip over when making a dive at it. Our other Lad with a Friend arrived and helped. We got a little nearer to catching it with six of us and the Reindeer a little out of breath as we were, but no way was we going to catch he. In the end we needed to get a long length of sheep netting stretching most of the way across the width of the field, walking towards her to make any exit small. We lost her once when she ran between a small gap. On the next attempt we cornered her with the net and were able to grab hold of her. It wont be worth the trouble if she is not in Calf.

Starting from number one there are five new photographs on the Photo Page. WE HOPED THEY WOULD HAVE GONE ON THE PHOTO PAGE LAST NIGHT.

The photographs are being put on the Photo Page by someone else, so they may not be on the website when the Diary comes up.

There are only a couple of photographs for tomorrow night Photo page.

Some more fungi I found in the forest

Honey fungus growing on the base of a birch tree

Glistening inkcap (turns black if left when picked, and the ink that comes out of it used to be used for signing wills and important documents so it could never be forged)

Amanita muscaria is the latin name for the Fly Agaric
Boletus or Penny Bun – very tasty fried

Blushing bracket – similar to my last pic just smaller

Hope Jordan enjoys these pics too! Jill (Epping

We had hoped to have made a start on the Squirrel obstacle course today. Unfortunately time ran out before we got round to it. Vicky’s boyfriend who is a joiner is coming to the Farm for a few days tomorrow. I don’t know if he knows but he has been delegated for the job by Vicky and her Mum.

Thornton really is something else. We can see our drive from the Farm House Kitchen. This morning we were watching the Sheep go from one field to the Horses Field, they were in no hurry and spent a few minutes standing in the drive, On seeing them Thornton went to socialise. Although he doesn’t usually mix with the Sheep he wasn’t pushed away and nearly followed the Sheep into the Field, who were going through an opening one by one. One of Dolly’s Lambs was waiting for Thornton to go through and when he decided he wasn’t the Lamb stayed with him. We thought that once all of the Sheep had gone the Lamb would quickly follow them not wanting to be left behind. Instead he stayed with Thornton who started to make his way back to the Farm House. After a few steps Thornton looked behind as if he was inviting the Lamb to follow, and he did following Thornton to the Farm House door. He wasn’t a bit frightened and even allowed a pat and ate a little of Thornton’s feed. My Lad and myself had to go back down the Valley. Thornton decided he and his friend would be coming with us. When we noticed that the pair were following us we managed to get them to return to the Farm Yard.

Last Saturday new Holiday Guests came to Denbury with a Dog that they took down the Valley for a walk. On their way back to their Cottage they pasted the Stables where we were working and told us Thornton had joined them for their walk. They could not believe the way that he had followed them, walking by their side and if he stopped he would go back to them when they called him.

Thornton is a character and is quite unbelievable what he gets up to. We would understand if you doubted his stories. I promise every word is true.

Me just before I set off (possibly the funniest picture) Margaret.

Karen saw one of the Female Reindeer standing on its rear legs pushing on my back. She was trying to reach the feed scoop that I put above me head as they try to eat it before I have time to put it in their trough. One of the Pennywell Farm Reindeer is now eating with our Reindeer without to many arguments. The other one just wont eat with the group so I keep her away whilst the others are feeding. I keep food in the scoops until the other females are finished so that she gets her feed.

The Reindeer jumping on my back reminded me when we had a couple of Quanaco. They are a type of Llama and as the Llama are of the Camelid Family. Unlike the Llama they tend to be all of the same light brown colour. I cant remember how we got them and I only got to know what they were when we went to sell them. I was selling them as they were two Males and to say that they were a nuisance would be an under statement. The first person to look at them told me what they were, as he was looking for Llamas he did not buy them. The next potential purchaser was a very posh Lady who spoke as if she had a plumb in her mouth, very proper and she let us know. The Quanaco were with our Llama in the Badger Field before we knew we had then, that is of course if they were there. The Lady was more interested in the Llama when she saw them but they were not for sale. Even after being told she continued petting the Llama with her back towards the Quanaco who both without any warning knocked her to the ground and started to stamp on her. Even after getting them away from the Lady within seconds of her finishing on the ground she was still showing signs of scrapes and bruises. She wasn’t a very happy Lady I can tell you, and the plumb in her mouth disappeared being replace with a barrage of foul language aimed at both the Quanaco and myself. I should think that she gave up on the idea of keeping members of the Camelid Family.

Wow! Moose Bigger than horses! What beautiful antlers. Marie/NJ

As you know I very rarely mention names or put photographs of people on the Forum. Margaret will be an exception. On second thought if any of those who use the Forum holiday at Denbury I will put there photographs on the Photo page if they are taken with the animals that we have here.

I wont spoil Margaret’s entry on the Forum that she will be sure to write when she gets home, just a snippet of when she had a ride on Arnie. We usually let the Children who Holiday here have a short ride, but we rarely get the Adults ask. Maybe they do not like to ask. Margaret did have a Ride on Arnie on a lead rope. We are sure that she really did enjoy most of the ride but her face initially told a different story. I was tempted to get Margaret to sit facing backwards but she realised when I told her to put the wrong foot in the stirrups. Arnie being the big lad he is it is not easy to mount him. We have had a mounting block built to make it easy to get on him. Margaret needed the block and a leg up from Chris, it was easy going from then. Arnie is for sure Margaret’s favorite.
