Early August - Several Scotch Argus Butterflies seen near the top of Arnside Knott.
We rescued 6 more battery hens - they are settling in well and are learning the ropes from our resident girls. It is so sad to see them when they arrive as they don't know how to walk properly and don't even want to come out of the hen-house. It is so satisfying, after about a week, when they realise that there is a world out there and they start doing all the things that hens should do - taking dust baths under the pear tree in the orchard - scratching about around the farmyard and of course providing us with their beautiful eggs.
