There are five new photographs on the Photo page, starting from number one. I am sure that there must be some good photographers who have not yet sent any photographs in for the Photo page.

Here’s the latest new butterfly that just emerged on Thursday. It’s called a Buckeye. Karen, Florida (USA)

Looking from the Farm House kitchen we are able to see part of the Horse field. If I hadn’t of put a hedge behind the pond that is in the Farm Yard, we would be able to see a lot more of the field. The hedge is also overgrown and instead of a hedge there are trees. But it did not stop me from seeing five or six Red Stags from our window this afternoon. They were not there for very long but I put them on all three webcams. Going by the Forum none of you saw them.

The Stags were frightened by tree felling in the woods on the right hand side of the valley and unfortunately were panicking. The woods did until a year ago belong to the County Council, but they sold them with some Farm land on the other side of the wood. I really should have tried a little harder to have purchased them, but I thought that the price that they made at Auction was too high. Twenty more acres of the wood are to be sold in June with a Farm. The woods will be in separate lots and I may consider bidding. The wood behind the trees in the middle of the valley will be part of the sale. We own all of the wood on the left hand side of the valley.

The new owner of the wood obtained permission to fell forty seven trees in the 10 acres that he owns. Most are Oak. The wood does need thinning and I would have thinned it myself, but it is a shame to see Oak trees felled, and off course it does frighten wildlife with the noise the felling makes.

The Stags would never have been in the Horse field if it were not for the felling of the trees. They must have run through the wood until there only way was to come out near the Farm House, then they ran into the wood near the Tree House, coming out immediately into the corner of the valley field, crossing from right to left in front of the trees in the middle of the valley and into our wood on the left hand side. I should think that they are lying low in our wood. It happened so fast that I only recorded in panic, the cameras were going every where so until I check the recording I wont know what I saw, but I am sure there where a couple of Royal Stags amongst the five or six. They may well graze in the valley tonight if they are in the wood, so I will leave the valley webcam on for most of the night.

Thornton went home with one of my Lads last night. He is still alive and doing well, but kept the house up through the night with his bleating.
