Spring is in the air and with every morning the da Spring is in the air and with every morning the dawn corus is getting louder. So here is a Bird box in a minute! Tbh even without the editing it took less than 6 minutes a box, wow I love my air nailer (Christmas pressie to myself🤭) all made with some recycled wooden crates from a Business in corby. Anyway 32 more boxes added on the farm for the Blue Tits and Great Tits among others. Absolutely amazing that we watched one being investigated by a Blue tit just 20 minutes after we put it up! Blue tits will find prospective nest sites in January, as does the barn owl which we were pleased to see using the new owl box we put up at Christmas to roost in on Saturday, we have yet to confirm with further sightings but fingers crossed they give it their hoot of approval! Really pleased as we hadn't seen them in a good few months so thought our barn owls may have been no more, we had gotten quite glum about it but so very happy to know even if they don't choose our nest box that they are still here.

🐐 moving day time lapse for you, cor if only we 🐐 moving day time lapse for you, cor if only we could do it this quick! Once a week the goats in the field move to pastures new, we do this because this grazing method reduces the need of anti parasite treatments which improves the flavour and health of the dung for the beasties that eat it. The goats eat the tasty bit of grass at the top and trample some of the grass in contact with the soil which is then broken down and feeds the fungi and other organisms locking away carbon in the process. It also slows water run off which reduces the risk of flooding down river and means we get more moisture in the soil in the spring when the grass needs it! Plus loads more! I think all that makes the effort worth it!!😁
Annnd we have sticks? .... logs ....? definitely b Annnd we have sticks? .... logs ....? definitely bare trees! Our mean keen tree munching machines have well and truly stripped those trunks bare! Now we can remove the left over branches and pop those down in the chicken pen to give them something to walk on around the water as its got a little boggy during their 'flockdown' so these will be of great use to counteract that and the trunks we will cut, store and dry so we can heat the house next winter! Every little bit won't go to waste

Sometimes when the weather is not at its best I ru Sometimes when the weather is not at its best I rush to get the jobs done but today with the right coat (even if the goats have gone and torn it 😫) I can take a sit down on the bench between the badger sets and just look at the view. The trees are starting to bud so the silver birch look like the have fire tips on their white trunks and the willows are a warm orange. Just wonderfull
27 trees to be goatcycled! An absolute huge thank 27 trees to be goatcycled! An absolute huge thank you to the villagers of Cottingham and Middleton who donated their Christmas trees toward our girls! It took two runs in the van to collect them all and only one will need a little de-tinsel-ing as we can't feed it otherwise and it would be a huge waste, so again thankyou for your donations, we can't accept any more but hope to be able to do this again next Christmas!
So forgot to post the follow up! Here it is our ha So forgot to post the follow up! Here it is our hand made by chief carpenter Ian and his appentice William one Barn Owl box and one Kestrel box (top of the pole), all from one sheet of ply wood and to the specifications suggested by the barn owl Trust, so plenty big enough! Was an absolute mission to get the owl box safely in place but now can stand proudly back and hope that one will fly past and approve! We will be keeping our fingers crossed

Update on hen 'flockdown', the turkeys are grumpy Update on hen 'flockdown', the turkeys are grumpy but are being great house guests nonetheless, the hens now have access to the outdoor water rather than us bucketing it in house for them-this means the interior of the hen house will be dryer under foot since they are not splashing it around and turning over buckets! And they now have a custom built external area to protect them from wild birdlife and flap their wings! The 🦃 are big but not too big that they can't fit out the hen door 😂😅 like I was worried about so all is good on that front. Planning on putting some outdoor perches out for the feathered ones to enjoy as the small area feels a little sparse in comparison to what they are used too.
Go away for a night but getting worried about the Go away for a night but getting worried about the goats?! No problem for team Ganders as we have Goat TV in our barns!! Ah time to relax, I'll be back to farming sooner than a swish of a goats tail 🐐🐐🐐
Made a large hanging wreath for the house this yea Made a large hanging wreath for the house this year with some springy willow from our coppice instead of the usual living pine that would get planted out.....no idea as to why we've changed plans .... 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛😸 I was trying to check if I had it level with some very attentive helpers! I will get round to decorating it soon! We shall be at a few events over the next few weeks but this week why not pop on over and grab yourself some very special gifts for the fabulous ones in you life? Check out all the brilliant things on offer @the_water_mill on Thursday evening!
What do you think is happening here? Gorgeous fros What do you think is happening here? Gorgeous frosty sprinkling of snow but why are the hens not roaming today? Too cold? No the Avian Influenza 'flockdown' has come once again into effect today, so to protect our girls we have had to house them with cases getting more and more prevalent. To help the girls out we have ordered some netting (surprise it's delayed getting here....) and will be making an outside area that is wild bird proof, their feed is being kept in the house and water is being carried down to them untill the outside one is no longer accessible for anything else....hopefully everyone will be following the DEFRA rules and we can all release our birds early as cases drop. The turkeys have moved in with the hens (fingers crossed they make good house mates!) even though they were just wild feeding, roaming and roosting, still they were at potential risk so in they moved. Even back garden hens need to be kept safe so check the rules and protect your poultry!
