Matthew (volunteer Roisins partner) from @corvido_uk visited this week to fly the drone over the sanctuary and take some shots ๐ธ
He made this beautiful video for us which was such a surreal experience to view the sanctuary and what we've all built from that aerial perspective. In the winter we're usually only working around the muddy parts or the barn so it was lovely to be reminded of the beauty all around the sanctuary, even at this time of year โ๏ธ๐ฒ
He took some amazing still shots of the animals as well, we'll share shortly!
Can't thank you enough Matthew for this! ๐๐๐ฝ
Most importantly, we can now see where the naughty sheep have been sneaking through the fence into the lower paddock! ๐
Busted! ๐
Torvi is becoming so curious wanting to see everything the humans are doing! We dropped some straw today and he was over at lightning speed to see what was going on ๐ It's always the best part of taking in new animals, watching them get fully settled so that their personalities start to blossom.
He's definitely one of the bossier ducks, thinks he's the boss of the paddock! Clearly been spending too much time with Bruce ๐
Here is a Bruce #fridayfail ๐คฃ
A typical Thursday for Roisin, no matter how much calm energy she brings and even the chilled out classical music in the background she put on for him and he still wants to kill her ๐

Thankfully our team aren't scared off easily but it does feel like he's trying to take out all our volunteers! ๐
Look who has worked out now how to eat from the hay net! Well done Fergus! ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ
Storm Bert is in full blizzard form here! ๐ฅถโ๏ธ
Everyone got extra feed, hay and straw this morning to stay warm and cosy. We've also brought the cows into the barn as Rye and Buddha aren't built for this weather being ex dairy cows. It's a bit earlier than we would have liked given they've not had long to bond with Fergus and a smaller space puts extra pressure on relationships (as we all know from lockdown haha) but so far so good! ๐ฎ๐
Stay warm everyone! ๐ค
Fergus enjoying his mineral lick on this freezing cold morning! โ๏ธ
Torvi is continuing to settle in. He's hanging out with the other ducks more and more, especially Kelpie and Dill so we're going to start building up to him sleeping in their hut.
He's such a smart boy, at bedtime he always waddles straight to his coop and puts himself to bed ๐ฆ
Harris has just the sweetest nature! Never fails to come over to say hello and get a wee cuddle ๐
Look at him! So casual! Clearly tried this many times and has it down to a T!
This is why we have to have everything like fort Knox around the goats ๐
Thankfully Erika was in the chicken run and got video proof he's not as innocent as he pretends! ๐คฃ
