Today I gathered up the remains of the white doe & interred them with some reverence beneath this little Yew. I am grateful to her for gracing our wood, & miss her. Foolish sentiments to some perhaps… I hope in years and decades hence the tree will be known as ‘White Doe Yew.’

This morning I am giving a talk about rewilding at a major business. Very scary. Just time to feed the flock. Could not leave without giving Badger her breakfast…

Not a very good vid - but serves to illustrate the only way turkeys should be at Christmas. Colly and her chook friends in their run Xmas morning.

A year ago today a lamb somehow escaped into our field and thus entered my life; so today is Horatio’s official birthday - one year old today…

Was rushing out to buy some hay - little face at the gate has delayed things…

Quite exciting (for those so inclined). Horatio and Kismet galloping out of the mist; Cuthbert barging Margo then pronking; finally Margo gets her supper…

A man injured a young #wolf in #Wyoming with his snowmobile & proceeded to prolong her suffering by parading her at a local bar before killing her. Support the ousting of anti-predator policies & demand law enforcement bring #AnimalCruelty charges.
