Lapwing Survey

Early this morning 2 volenteers from the RSPB walked round the fields at Broadgate Farm as part of this years lapwing survey. They saw some interesting sightings including the following birds:- Curlews, Lapwings, Snipe, Oyster Catchers, Whimbrels, a Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Jays, Long Tailed Tits, a Buzzard, Cahffinches, and Chiff Chaffs. They also saw many pheasants, partridge and hares.

Off for a wonder

These two were wondering round the fields this morning.

Spring Time

 There are many lapwings nesting round the farm this year.

BUT NOW IT’S TIME TO RUN

After sitting very quietly this hare decided it was time for a run.

A LAZY AFTERNOON

It may be very chilly but this brown hare is enjoying a quiet break

Dry but still cold

Just been checking old blogs, the daffodils were out, bright and yellow on 21st March 2009, I don't think they will out yet whilst many are still nestled in snow

Easter Weekend 2013

Who would have thought we would still have some snow around at Easter, after last weekend of wind, blizzards and snow, the roads are clear. Even though it's cold and dry, it seems a bit more like spring.
