#LoveLambWeek producing top quality protein where no other crop will grow #MyBiosphere

Cull ewes (scanned not in lamb) doing a bit of conservation grazing, keeping the brooghs clear of scrub to benefit #wildflowers and #choughs. You can see the ungrazed section behind them has been smothered by bracken. Massive #anthill in the foreground

@GellAndy And 70% to other predators! Interesting that gulls and buzzards aren’t mentioned, they’d definitely be a factor here.

Liver fluke treatment for all the in-lamb ewes the last couple of days. Fantastic weather for it ☀️

Lucky to see #curlew on our shore fields most days through the winter. They’re particularly favouring this field for the last few weeks, must be something they’re enjoying 🪱🐜🪲

RT @FavColour_Green: Couldn't be more disappointed

Preg scanning day yesterday. A much needed dry day, it’s been a tough week! Relieved ewes scanned well, I’d been worried about fertility after such a wet year

RT @IOMGovernment: The Department of Infrastructure has declared a major incident due to the number of trees down, and the impact of this a…

I went out briefly this morning but once the essential feeding was done I abandoned, it was terrifying. So impressed with @manxutilities getting power back on. They’re very brave! The noise is incredible, Frosty the cat is terrified

Yesterdays calm before the storm

@HenryCarter9999 @daffydowndilly Yes, just south of Port Mooar

A rewarding day planting 180m of hedge yesterday. Cassie is 4 and was able to get some done on her own! 💪🏻 Great that she’ll be able to see this develop. Another 220m to do in the coming weeks. Message if you’d like to come for a Sunday session 11am-1pm 26th Jan

180m of new hedge in the ground today. Thanks for your help @daffydowndilly. A nice mix of hawthorn, crab apple, dog rose, alder and Rowan will be fantastic for birds and sheltering lambs in years to come. Gauging interest..anyone like to come and plant Sunday 26th 11am-1pm?

@mountainyman1 As long as the teeth are good. We change the colour of the secondary tag every year too, saves alot of time drafting. Only need to check mouths on a few colours and don’t waste time checking younger ewes

The best kind of January day; cold, bright and no wind.

Frosty the cat knows the #aga is the best place to be 🔥

Stunning start to the day. #sunrise

We’ve had a lovely few days, cold and bright. Bracing ourselves for tomorrow’s blizzard. The east wind howls in off the sea here🥶

Such a treat to have no wind or rain today! A lovely Christmas Eve

Sprout, Skippy and Cathy ventured to Bethlehem tonight, it was magical ✨
