The RSPB’s Harapan Rainforest seems to be going from strength to strength. This is a very worthwhile cause to support.

The RSPB: Save the Sumatran rainforest: Million tree appeal

Update

Still alive!
Snowing again. Managed to plant 450+ hedging plants though, for some native hedges to split the big field prior to cows coming.
Not much work on Peregrine Productions recently.

Tree-planting

We have started planting a few trees - pictured here is a Spindle. We have also planted a Field Maple and a Wild Service Tree.

Hopefully a lot more to come.

I have also started to remove some of the Horse Chestnuts - there are too many for the site. I am trying to ringbark them, to leave dead wood habitat.

Stockton, Norfolk

Well, after a delay, here is some more about the new house and grounds!

The photo shows one of a pair of very tame Pied Wagtails that frequent the garden. Though a young male seems intent on chasing off the male of the two.

So far the bird list includes:

Robin, Wren, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Dunnock, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Redwing, Fieldfare, Pied Wagtail, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jay, Jackdaw, Herring Gull, Black-headed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Moorhen, Mallard, Pheasant, Red-legged Partridge.

I don't think that's a bad list for a few weeks of intermittent visits and not looking properly yet.

Several Mallards seem resident on the pond and the Moorhens come very close to the house. Large flocks of winter thrushes in the field.

First photos of new house

As promised, here are the first photos of the land around the new house in Stockton, Norfolk.

Very picturesque in the snow!

Included here are some general views and the 'lake'. More to follow as well as details of sightings.

It's been a long time!

Not posted for a long time, but hope to soon. Moving to Norfolk. New project - 4 acres to turn into a mini nature reserve.
Hope to update soon, with pictures!
