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

This is my Sunflower I am very proud of it, I watered and cared for it, it is in Karen’s front garden. It has got 3 heads. Jordan Age 6 years Stoke,

4 Photographs. I cant remember when we last had such a lovely day as today(Saturday 13th Sept). Our garden suddenly came to life again, so I got the camera out. Rose W’canton.

One of the Reindeer Cows managed to get her antlers caught up in a large clump of Bramble this afternoon. Now that they are in their own Field I cant get them on the webcams, as I am using the main Badger camera that is a good four hundred metres away from the field and there are large areas that I cant see. I need to watch them more often than I would have to for a week or two, to make sure that they do not start to scour as they have all been moved from different locations. Changing their grazing could upset their stomachs. When I went to look at them this afternoon one was missing. Other than getting out of the field she was either in one of the two shelters or by the side of one. I found her by the side caught up. It was the friendliest one but she wasn’t best please with the thought of me going to have to get hold of her so she panicked and tried to get behind the shelter. The gap between the fence and the shelter was not wide enough for a Reindeer so I was able to get hold of her. Untangling her wasn’t easy. I came out worse being scratched by very large bramble. We have cut them away so hopefully we wont get that problem again.

There are five new photographs on the Photo page starting from number six. Only a few photographs left.

The Reindeer. Finn.

Now have a close look at the bark and experience the unbelievable figures of creatures engraved in the surface of the entire tree trunk!!Absolutely real!!! Elsie.

When the Reindeer came here on Friday there was not any feed for them, other than hay and straw, so I had to go to Cricket St Thomas on Saturday to get a bag until I can find a local suppliers. Whilst at the Zoo I went to look at Padfoot and Fleur, who were meant to be coming to Denbury when Padfoot had started to loose his velvet. Unfortunately one of the Female Reindeer at the Zoo had died a couple of months ago. If I had taken Fleur it would have meant that the Zoo would have only one adult female and two of this years calves. Although when I agreed that I would take Padfoot I would need a female to go with him, it would be unfair to leave the Zoo short. Now only Padfoot will be coming to Denbury. We hope that will be on Wednesday.

Our intention was to keep two of the female and sell to sell the others. Trouble is that we like them and have decided to keep the four, especially as we are now not getting Fluer. Two of the Female Reindeer are getting quite friendly. We were hoping to get lead ropes on them by tomorrow, but I don’t think that will happen. We will need to put the Females into the field that we have prepared for them tomorrow so that Padfoot is not left on his own when he arrives on Wednesday.

There are five new photographs on the Photo page starting from number eleven. Only four photographs left.

Some people have a great imagination to visualize this in their heads first.A Tree in Andra Pradesh -India

At a glance you may be confused the above tree with a massive trunk with a ‘Baobab’ tree (which is renowned to possess the largest tree trunks of the world) but, this is yet another unknown specie which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the dense forest in ‘Andra Pradesh’ in India. Elsie.

The bullying by one of the Reindeer last night wasn’t very bad, but it was unfair after the long journey that they had yesterday to have one being chased about. After splitting them up into two groups they settled and when we let them out together this afternoon in the corral there was no bickering at all, but until we put them in to their field we will keep them separated. They will soon sort out the pecking order once that they are in their field. All new animals put together for the first time go through it. Although all of Reindeer came from the same place I should think that they were in different groups. A couple of them meeting each other for the first time yesterday.

Branston got really spooked when he first set eyes on the Reindeer. He didn’t hang around to get out of their sight and hid away for a good few hours. Even when we put his feed down he didn’t want to know until we took it to him out of sight of the Reindeer. This afternoon he started to get braver, first looking from a distance, then near the corral but with an exit if he needed to run. Eventually he put his head into the corral, even touching noses with one of the Reindeer. He will be alright now.

This afternoon after only being here for a few hours two the Reindeer are getting friendly with us. They are coming up to us and allowing us to touch them. For the next few days before they go into their field we will try to get then being walked with a lead rope. We never have considered keeping Reindeer and if it had not been that we were offered Padfoot from Cricket I must admit that we would not have have got any. Up to now we have found them to be extremely nice animals to have and our Holiday Guests all seem to agree.

2 Barn Owls aged 22 weeks they were called Dawn and Dusk. Jan.

I took these photos today (21st August) at Cricket St Thomas, I wondered which of the Reindeer would be going to Denbury? The Monkey we thought was pregnant and fed up! and the Lemurs are just so laid back. Rose W’canton.

The Reindeer that are coming to Denbury are the Male with the very big antlers, That I could not mistake, and it looks like the female right in the middle. We are also hoping to buy another female. We know where we can get one from but there are various places in the UK that have movement restrictions because of Blue Tongue disease.
