As promised, here is a picture of our new puppy Kingston. He’s 4 weeks old here. He’s a cream long haired dachshund. The breeder sent me the picture. Can’t wait until August 1st, when we get to pick him up. I’ll send another picture when we get to pick him up. Karen, Florida

Hello Mr. Farmer, I have only posted on the forum once, but I read the diary everyday..Thank you for your web site. I am the executive director for homeless and domestic violence services in rural North Carolina. When things get really hectic and crazy around here I take a peek at the cameras and it really help me refocus! I have pasted a picture of our cat Kentucky. We lived next door to cloistered Domenican Nuns before we moved here from New Jersey last year. Kentucky used to climb over the wall to visit the nuns and he helped us become friends. I pasted the picture from their web site, but they let us use the pictures before. Cathy.

These were interesting.The bee hives were made of whicker basket weave and housed in that building.There is a building like this at a farm in Westerdale,North Yorkshire. Lindsay.
I was quite sure that the Goslings had hatched yesterday by the way the Geese were acting. I cant remember other Geese having five Goslings before on the Lake, I think the most was four. What I am pleased to see is that the Geese with the Gosling look as if they are going to stay on the island overnight, so it looks as if the ramp was the right thing to put up. With a bit of luck the Gosling may survive this year. When I saw them this morning we all got working and made a scarecrow within half an hour, just in case it is birds that have been taking the Gosling in previous years. I don’t know if the scarecrow will help, but it was worth a try. We will move it tomorrow morning to another place on the Lake, so that the Rooks and Crows don’t get use to it. There have been another pair of Geese on the Lake for part of the day, but they didn’t seem to bother the nesting pair as they did when they were sitting on the eggs.
I didn’t get time to put the camera up to watch the nesting bird in the haystack. I will try to do it tomorrow. The good news is that we saw a Wren come out of the nest that has eggs in it at the other end of the stack.
If you scroll down the thumbnail page you will find a new thumbnail of the USA Osprey nest that is now live. There needs to be a couple of adjustment to get the screen the same size as the other webcams. I will get that done over the next few days. The Osprey is sitting on eggs and I am quite sure that the eggs were laid about a week before the Lock of the Lowe’s Ospreys. There are difference in the USA and Scottish Osprey, I will get Peter to tell you what. After about a week after the eggs have hatched, the USA Peter will have to put the camera up a little higher, zoom it out a bit and adjust the focus, or we could just be seeing the twigs of the nest. The night time pictures are not great at the moment because of the focus. It will be put right soon.

Some of you managed to see the camera going on Donald the remote controlled Duck. The picture was not as good as we had got in the Farm House, when we tried it before putting it on the Lake, then it was very good. We had to get a very small wireless camera so that it could be fitted into the Ducks head. The only place where we could get one was from China. I will try later in the week to get the picture better. It could well be with messing about with it we could get it a lot better. It will then be worth showing it on the web site. When we were trying it one of the Dogs decided she would have a swim. The Gander wasn’t best pleased, it was only by making sure that she came out of the water, that she was not attacked buy the Gander. The Gander was then watching every thing, including Donald. I ordered a decoy Goose in the week to make that remote controlled. Being a lot bigger we, or Jack and his friend, I should say will be able to use better equipment to make it.
With it being cold for the past few weeks the grass is well behind growing to what it is in other years. We always try to let the Horses out in to the main Horse field by the 1st of May. The way it is looking we wont be doing that this year. Fortunately we have ample hay to feed them, but it does mean that we will have to mucking out the stables for longer. This afternoon it did get quite warm. We have got to hope it carries on so that the ground warms up, then the grass will grow.
We are very lucky at Denbury. We don’t need to use fertiliser to get a good crop of hay. Mind you the price of fertiliser has rocketed up in price. As fertilizer is used on many crops it will mean food will be even more expensive than it has been getting over the past few months. I don’t no where they get these inflation figures from. Our Horse feed has gone up over 15% with price rises that there have been in cereals. You must have noticed it in the price that your bread has gone up. The cheep bread that we use for the Badgers has gone up 30%.
Thornton went down well with our friends over the past couple of days. No one who sees him can believe how tame he is. Our Holiday Guests last week loved seeing him. He is acting more like a Dog each day. Earlier today he was seen playing with a ball with his front feet, and he seems to be getting a little more playful with Tass and Kye. When we call him most of the time he come straight back to us as do Tass and Kye.
