We love it when our guests want an art class. I have thoroughly enjoyed painting with Tom and Ria who created the most beautiful watercolours before brunch.
We painted on the footpath by pencil pot , with a shot of espresso and surrounded by bird song.
They now have the supplies to continue their artistic journey this week .
I for one am very excited to see more!

Nothing better than a breakfast with no food miles!
I love this time of year, our guests are thoroughly enjoying the glut of asparagus!

The little baby moorhen chicks..
They are little balls of fluff and only recently hatched.
I was hanging washing out in this glorious sunshine and there they were strutting around like little velociraptors !
Now I just hope that mum keeps them close and safe.
She certainly had her eyes peeled today

What a wonderful hour behind hare and barn owl

Lesser spotted woodpecker, bullfinch, redpoll, Siskin , garden warbler and some great farmland birds
Yesterday we had a red necked grebe, which I’ve recorded a few times now, greylag geese and a nuthatch

Which bird would you like to see ?

Meet Quaver and Quacker
Twin girls!
A very rare occurrence

What a day on the farm Easter Sunday has been!
We have twins ❤️❤️

Born for the first time in over a decade, the mum is amazing, it’s going to be a chilly with these clear skies so Jonathan will give them more straw.
Very soon they will be in the field.
Ready for a few years grazing Amongst the grasses and wildflowers
