This time including the nuthatch and a sneeky snap of a crow as they are "not encouraged"!

Last one to the maternity suite!
Mable who is due on the 2nd of July has moved in with the mares and foals and the South American contingent! Looks a little like a ginger space hopper at the moment but not that full an udder. The tractor is away being fixed at the so as far as the buttercups are concerned... La la la la!!!

A few horses more...
The latest arrivals - the solid bay filly is "Fistfull of Dollars" and she is here to tidy up a bit and probably re sell. She was here as a foal at foot on a visiting mare "Wearview Gypsy" in 2010 and we liked her a lot them, nice mover and a kind temperament. Her three year old louder sister is here to be broken in and I think she is called "A Few Dollars More" - They are out of a solid appy mare and by a spotty stallion who I think was half Irish Draft. Today they have had their front feet trimmed and been wormed. The younger filly got a Vit B12 injection, her mane brushed out and her bridle path and ears tidied with the clippers, all with no fuss. They have been wintering on the fells at about 1800ft above sea level so they are as tough as old boots.
