3 more Barn Owls born
Delighted to report that we have another three Barn Owl Chicks in one of our two boxes. The local chaps (licensed professionals) from the Barn Owl Trust came to weigh, measure and tag them this week.
A few weeks ago, we thought there were just two, but it turned out there were three in total in this new brood
They are about a month old and we hope they will fledge in another 4-6 weeks. That's the second brood this year, bringing our total to 6 chicks in 2019.
Charity ride
A dozen or so riders taking part in a ride raising funds for Friends of O.S.C.A.R, a charity set up to support children with brain and spinal tumours and their families throughout the country.
The ride was organised by the Naphill Riding Club and started around our stubble fields.
Harvest Completed
We completed 2019 harvest this week with the Triticale (a hybrid of Wheat and Rye) and grown because it is less palatable to the ever-present deer population. Our contractors - Kensham Farms, based in Cadmore End - have done a fabulous job of both improving the yield and the soil, which you may have noticed from the recent manure-spreading.
Supporting Thames Valley Air Ambulance
We are delighted to be working with Thames Valley Air Ambulance (based in Stokenchurch) and what3words on their new campaign #3WORDSSAVELIVES which was filmed here at Cholsey Farm.
Star of the show was of course Percy, our Connemara pony who was completely unfazed by his 'injured' rider, camera crew, drone, flashing lights etc.
If you're a cyclist, walker or rider, be prepared. Download the What3Words app (It's free) and learn how to use it. It's simple & it works (even without mobile data).
