Orange tip butterfly





An orange tip butterfly arrived in our garden this week. According to our book, they aren't usually seen in Lancashire - especially hillside country. Any further information welcome!

Breakfast time viewing


A cock pheasant (now where did that come from?) and rabbit were having their 'breakfasts' at the same time as our bed and breakfast guests this morning...

They're back...

Uh - o. They're back. That pair of goosanders. They've just done a fly-past over the farmhouse roof. Which probably means they're planning to nest up there again this year. At least we'll know what to expect this time.

Autumn's here





















St Luke's Little Summer, October 16, was glorious. The trees in Sabden Valley are cloaked in rich autumn colours. Our holly trees are laden with berries.
A sign of a good summer...or a hard winter to come?

Apples galore




There's been a bumper crop of apples this year, too. These apples must have weighed at least three-times as much as this little tree in our garden.

Gathering for the big trip


By Sept 12, all our swallows had set off for Africa. There were more baby swallows than ever this year and the sky round the farm was full of their chatter. Roll on early April 2011 when they return.
