Tour of the orchards with kabota RTV

 This time we did a route on the RTV so Richard could trim back any branches that were hanging over  and impeding the way.   We kept our eyes open for wildlife and as usual saw hares,  about 20 sightings of them mostly running away from us or across the fields!    We also saw a fox sitting nicely for us but as I got my camera ready he turned tail. We saw him in the same place on the way back so it seems that is where he likes to hang out!    A couple of muntjac also put in an appearance and I saw a jay and a pair of mallards on one of the ponds.    The ground was still a bit sodden in places but better than it was.    

I fastened my trail cam to a tree overlooking a couple of well trodden tracks although realised it was only set for daylight hours so may not capture much.  I will alter the timings next time in the hope of seeing more  activity.

Tiny fruits

Now most of the plum, pear and apricot blossom has finished, we can see the tiny fruits forming. Lots of pears, quite a few plums but only the odd apricot due to the frosts in April.  As we wont be spraying, not sure how many fruits will develop and be good enough to eat but its interesting watching them grow. plums pears a single apricot

Fox cub!

 It has been lovely seeing new life on the farm this Spring including a blackbird nesting in our old shed,  great tits successfully fledging from one of our bird boxes, ducklings and moorhen chicks on the ponds but especially last evening I was able to spend over 10 minutes watching a young fox cub exploring in the orchard until it trotted off.

Fruit picking

Image
 All the plums are now picked and sold - a good crop of Victoria plums plus a reasonable crop of the other less known varieties and lots of jam made and sold using plums, strawberries,  blackberries  and even elderberries and mulberries from the farm! We have now picked the majority of the pears, with large crop of Conference and surprising good quality considering they havent been sprayed although we are not expecting it to be so good in future years.  We hope to have some made into Pear Juice and also plan to pick some Perfection and Greensleeves apples this week for juicing. As we only have one cold store and pears and apples cannot be stored together, we are leaving the apples on the trees as long as we can. We are continuing to clear the vegetation around the ponds to open them up and hopefully encourage more wildlife and birds and make them so we can walk beside and enjoy them.
