There has probably been other pictures of this year's Orme goat kids posted before these but the sunshine late this afternoon seemed to bring out all the new young goats playing together.

Some Pembrokeshire wildlife for a change!
We saw these on our walk on the Stackpole Estate yesterday. The robin was quite happy to sit and pose for photos. Never moved even when the flash went off!

Loved TheMedz photos of the baby goats. Here are a couple of the lambs which have just been having their mad half hour!

My wife gave our Old English Sheepdog his cut for the Spring and had a full bag of combings from his coat but we put it into the garage as we thought that it was too cold for the birds to start their nest building.
We were wrong though as we could see them looking around for nesting material so we put a large quantity down and it soon went.  The Crows are carrying off Marco's cuttings as quickly as we can put them down, it's a nice thought knowing that they will have a warm home during this cold spell.

Just a few days later and I think the crows will need all that wool to keep warm as we have had the heaviest snowfall of the year today.I've stocked up all the birdfeeders just to make sure the birds are well fed and I could see that the Badgers and the Fox have been here again as their footprints were clearly visible in the snow.

The foal photos are beautiful. Thanks Hugo and Keith!

This poor fellow didn't make it sadly.

Not a very clear photo unfortunately. The mother fox and 3 cubs were out playing in the failing sunlight on Pen Dinas last night. The 3 cubs were just too fast for me to capture them on film.
