New Pony - Pampita

Went down to Yorkshire to pick up the pocket rocket Argentine polo pony Pampita today.  She is a very cute thing and by all accounts a saint that anyone can ride, mind if Mark is to ride her he'll need sticks three inches shorter than normal!  As is tradition if we are on the A66... with a trailer... it will be a white out!

Badger Cam - Hotting Up!

Lots of activity on Badger Cam in the last week including for the first time we've had two badgers in the shot.  They then spent a good hour thoroughly cleaning out the set and putting new bedding in.  Badger number one seems to be a bit of an exhibitionist but I'm not sure he's then quite as successful as he would like to be!!

Drowned rats...

Chamfron Toledo at eight months old and Chamfron Morello at nine months old, furry but doing well.  Sadly its just not the weather for photos shoots is it!!

Chamfron Perdita - Nine Months Old

Today she has mostly been jumping puddles, thinking that her brother is the worlds best influence and watching the world go by!

Badger Cam!

The trail camera has been on a badger set for the last week with great success, I'm quite hopeful we have several badgers in the set and that maybe we will get some cubs in the spring.  I had a laugh at the grey tree rat peering in the set and have been intrigued by a bird that showed up right on the edge a few photos.  I'm hoping it is a Jay and that I will get a better snap of it soon (no doubt I'll get a better photo and it will turn out to be a pigeon!)
