Amazing to be out this morning at PepsiCo FAB project site #Balgonie ! Some goldfinches also enjoying the @PARTRIDGE_NSR mix. Weather is looking great this week so get out and get counting! #PartridgeCounts #PartridgeCountScheme #PCS #FarmingWithNature
A wonderful species rich meadow, full of 1000s of southern marsh orchids in our village #NationalMeadowsDay
Grazed early with a late hay cut taken. Farmer gave us permission so we could have a look around. Passing on the love of nature to my little one π

Moving from the lane to the last field of grass. Been saving this for a mid winter treat. After this itβs back to your normal winter diet of hay #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreeds #sustainablefarming #farmingwithnature #sheep #wool #isleofman
Ewe lambs grazing a newly created wildflower meadow this week before they head to the next block of cover crops. Aiming to graze the grass down tightly, giving the wildflowers a good chance to grow on in the spring, also stimulating the seed bank in the soil. #FarmingWithNature
Already providing more habitat for pollinators on a newly planted willow peg. Come on the willow warblers. #farmingwithnature
A wet, gloomy and windy morning was brightened yesterday by spotting this #shortearedowl .
It flew over my head then took shelter in the #hedgerow to avoid the rooks?/ravens? that were shooing it away.

Our corncrakes are back again this year - this one was caught trying to book into Tighard Guesthouse ! Maybe the rabbit had bagged the best room! #corncrake #crexcrex #rspb_love_nature #nationaltrustforscotland #farmingwithnature Chris Packham National Trust for Scotland RSPB Scotland
After a long winter (even a mild one), it warms our hearts to see life returning to all the different parts of the farm.

Blue skies, slight breeze moving the clouds and skylarks singing above the farmland. Beautiful!

Incalf heifers enjoying some of our AECS wild bird seed. We're allowed to graze this from 1st March. It's fed birds all winter, now these heifers!
Not the biggest crop with dry '23. Planned since 2022, great to see in practice.
