Beautiful animals and a lovely young lady to boot.?
That is my niece. She was born afraid of all creatures. She is just like my sister. I have been working on her for years. She finally petted a chicken on her last visit. She likes to help me collect eggs. She said farming is not for her though, because their is too much poop. Her little brother is terrified of every animal we have. He is only three. I'm not sure if I will be able to change his mind. He is afraid of everything.
Looks like she's coming around anyway ? and maybe enjoying just a little bit.
No. Sadly I am not on Facebook.
It used to be because I was afraid of the hacking situation... but now I just don’t want to be found. ?
Sorry everyone. It’s all been rather busy. I did warn you. It’s not going to quieten down for a while yet.
The rescue is inundated and short of volunteers. The tennis season is in full swing (we had tickets for both Queen’s and Eastbourne and have tickets for Wimbledon next week).
Mother in Law had an 80th birthday party in my brother in law’s garden which was very chilly, but that’s the only way we could get the family together legally.
And we have been clearing the attic, decorating, selling stuff on eBay…
Here are some of my most recent clients at the rescue to make up for my absence.
Tiny baby Goldcrests, the UK’s smallest bird; they won’t get much bigger than this.
Even tinier one day old baby Robins. Two of them hatched at the rescue.
Sadly, both the above are victims of people failing to check trees for nests before doing treework
And a baby House Martin, a close relation of the US Barn Swallow.
But I will look on hubby’s later tonight!! ?
Thank for sharing!
Good luck with the farm!
It sounds glorious!!
Take it day by day...
One square of space a day that’s it..
Otherwise you will overwhelm yourself.. ??
Simply gorgeous!!!!
Wow!
I would never leave!!
Such AWSOME looking animals.
And your daughter is a cutie pie too!
But I have one question?...
No partridge in a pear tree? ?
Thanks for taking the time to visit us. And as always really wonderful pictures of the babies.?Sorry everyone. It’s all been rather busy. I did warn you. It’s not going to quieten down for a while yet.

Awwww ??
Did the two wee ones in the middle picture die?? ???????????
I said it before and I’ll say it again....
I hate people.! ???
They were all alive at the end of my shift this morning ? When they’re that tiny their neck muscles can’t support the weight of their head. They’re still curled up from being in the egg.
When I fed them, I have to support the head and gently open the beak using a tiny paintbrush to encourage it to gape and then I pop a tiny dot of hand rearing mix in with the paintbrush. This is repeated every 15 minutes throughout the day for all 7 of these plus another hatchling, also pink but with head control. And we also have to feed all the other baby birds too. There are dozens of others.
Not all the babies are victims of human carelessness. The tree cutting makes me so angry though.

Welcome back Linda, glad you're OK. I forgot about your MiL's party but guessed that tennis and the rescue would be keeping you busy.Sorry everyone. It’s all been rather busy. I did warn you. It’s not going to quieten down for a while yet.

It maddens and saddens me that people are still hedge trimming and chopping trees in the nesting season
I hope the little ones all make it.
I'm annoyed with some new people in the street and I haven't even met them yet. There was a swallow (maybe swift) nest under their eaves of their end of terrace house which the birds have returned to for many years, but the first thing they did was to power hose it down. They couldn't have known if their were any eggs or chicks in it
More selfish ignorant neighbours.

Went to my doctor today. Have a doppler ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. Doctor thinks I have developed more clots in my left leg. I am really thinking about going to the hospital. My doctor doesn't think it is urgent. But I am sitting on pins and needles. Dont know if I want to wait until tues.
I don’t blame you. Blood clots can’t wait.
A young friend of mine, only 38, died recently after ignoring a pain in his leg which turned out to be DVT
Sadly, Ray, you might get better care. Do not mess around. If your instincts are go, then go. I am worried, as are we all. Clots are nothing to F** with!! We don't hear from you, we worry. Just like we worry when we don't hear from Joe's Mum, Maggie, Chubbs, & y'all.
Please go Ray, I've been worrying about you. It was a blood clot that took my brother from us sooner than we were expecting. He had a dopler scan before leaving hospital because of his ankles swelling. It didn't show anything to worry about at the time and maybe if he'd been more active he would have been OK, but clots are sneaky, so for your own peace of mind, make sure you are in the best place to deal with them.
Good morning all,
The rain arrived and it's freshened everything up nicely.
I've been out to top up the bird feeders and add some extras - the blackbird loves apples!
Now it's Lola's turn - but he hasn't surfaced yet.
Then I'm off to a garden centre to see what I can buy with a voucher I have.
Hope you have a good Saturday and I'll see you later.
