On Friday evening we enjoyed a guided tour of Raby House Farm in Willaston, farmed organically by David Tedstone.
David is applying for Higher Level Stewardship, a Natural England scheme to provide funding for farmers who manage their land to deliver environmental benefits.
This is one of two barn owl boxes installed by Wirral Barn Owl Trust.
One of the ponds had two families of Canada geese, seen here guarding their chicks from us.
This is one of several wild flower meadows that impressed us. They provide a fine hunting ground for the barn owls.

ReplyDeleteI went on that walk and saw a orchid in the field. It was a great walk and two cats followed us.
I'm glad you enjoyed the walk, Freddie. Our next outing is on 24th April - an expedition to Thornton Wood. There are more details on our website - www.wirralwildlife.co.uk/programme.html
