You are too young to fly!
And Miss C lifted the little bird, for the fourth time that day, off the floor and placed it back into it’s pretend bread basket nest.
Little bird glared at Miss C and waited for her to leave the chook house full of savage chickens before hurling himself back to the floor in protest.
Not long now little bird and you can join your cuzzies!
Birds on a Wire
There are many young barn swallows flying about now. If we can keep these three alive for a few more days, I think they might be able to fly out of the chook house on their own steam
Still having internet woes so I am trying to make this post and save as fast as I can. It can wink out at any moment without warning. The tower is now attached to the house with a bracket so it cannot move at all (which means I have even less signal reaching the house) the 12 year old (do they keep him on a diet like a jockey so they stay thin for climbing the towers?) is booked to come back tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed some more.
I attached a broom to the fence to see if the cows use it to sweep the flies off their faces though it is getting so dry and so cold in the nights now that there are way less flies. This is a trial. If they use it I will dismantle a soft old broom and screw it to the post.
But not unless they use it – these are not instagram cows!
Let sleeping hogs lie.
Not dead!
Free Bee and Big Jude are really enjoying a bigger sleeping space. They will never be fed treats in here so that they are relaxed in the barn when visitors come to say hullo to the biggest pigs ever. If anyone approached their feed gate they are a noisy pair. Here they are all laid back, harmless and friendly.
Have a lovely day now! I am going to try again to record my story for substack but this bloody bollocksy inclement internet winking in and out is making that difficult.
Lets hope it is better tomorrow!
Take care now

The dear “little” pigs!
That yawn!
What a pig of a time you are having with the internet. Sorry, bad analogy, as of course we LOVE those pigs! Hope those barn swallows fledge soon, they really are dicing with death. Good luck recording your latest substack story, look forward…….
The wee peak into your day and the farm is always a rare treat
Those birds have set about keeping you at your most observant! If they could only understand that their life hangs in the balance. I say the internet MUST work even if you have to tie the technician to the tower forever to keep the signal strong 😉
My goodness, look at that green field. It’s greener than green! And come on little bird, wisen up already.
Very indignant little bird. And the pigs look very content. I think your face brushing station would be a big hit if you could get one to try it? Thanks for the visit to the farmy.
I attached a couple of scrub brushes to the fence and my two goats pretty much wore the bristles off!
Well – that is fantastic!!
I loved seeing the young barn swallows. I recently read a wonderful book “A Single Swallow” by Horatio Clare. He follows the migrating swallows from Cape Town to a barn in Wales so I’m always interested to see them in the Northern hemisphere.
Oh I hope the little swallows fly soon!
