Fledgling House Martins

 

Lots of activity in the yard today as a brood of young House Martins

leave the safety of their of nest.

 

 

This little chap took some persuading to leave his perch....

 

 

 



Bird on a wire..... I fear for my washing today. 

Its directly below their flight path!

All is safely gathered in

 

Its been a long day in the hay fields and there's along night ahead

to get all 2000 bales undercover.

 

 

Modern machinery helps however ......

 

 

There's still a lot of manual labour required.

 

 

 

Trailer load after trailer load comes off the field to the hay sheds

 

 

and each bale is carefully stacked by hand till the huge hay sheds are full to the rafters.

Its a wonderful feeling when the hay is in and we know with certainty that there is enough

best quality feed to see us through the longest and hardest of winters. 

 



Hay Time at Pry House Farm

 

Its been a blistering hot day.  The sun was up and blazing at 5.30 this morning.

 

Breezy too so perfect hay making weather.

 

 

Rowing up with the Massey 35 and baling with the John Deere

 

 Leading in using a flat 8 grab clears the ground quickly.
