The following
day Shasta who has been very very quiet finally got me so worried that I took
her to the vet, in the early evening, poor darling had a temperature of 105!!!
So no wonder she felt poorly, it turned out to be growing pains – inflammation
of the membrane over the long bones, so a hefty shot of carprieve and one of
Norclav and by 11.00pm she was a different dog. The evening however was not
over. The rest of the hay arrived, so very kindly everyone had stayed late and
we unloaded and stacked it and put the old hay on the top, Art was pleased as
he has been able to steal hay all day!!!
Adam was
convinced he could reach it, I was less so, but he did, with ropes and tackle
to keep him safe. He got the Spar, but then of course – how to get down. So I
asked Simon for one of his socks (he as the only person wearing any!) he refused
and said he would go and get a clean one!!!!!! My personal opinion by that time
was that the Sparrowhawk did not deserve a clean one but Simon thought it might
kill him to have the worn one!!
Up went the
sock, in went the Sparrowhawk and down he was lowered in the sock on a creance.
Tash now owes Simon a new pair of socks because he cut it open to get the bird
out without upsetting it. Not, I might add that it seemed in the slightest bit
concerned!!

The weather has
been glorious, hot, sunny, Karis has been doing stoops to die for, and all the
birds have been managing well. I will put in some pictures but my camera is in the weighing room and I am blowed if I am going down there to get it at this time of night!

Hello
I have to say that keeping a weblog can at times become compulsive and at other times a chore. Sometimes I am berrated for not keeping it up and sometimes I get wonderful comments from people who follow the news of the Centre.
It is fun to share the daily goings on here, some good and some bad, some funny and some sad, but all a part of our daily lives.
And as I said before its a pretty cool to be here and it is a great place to visit, you should try coming and watching the birds and meeting the staff and of course the dogs.

An interesting video on Lead
An interesting video on Lead
I find it staggering that people who want to hunt don't see the value in changing their ammunition from lead to a safer product. We have stopped using lead in petrol, in paint, in our water pipes, but they still want to use lead - ah well, apparently eating it not only kills birds but leads to reduced intelligence in humans......................
NO ONE is asking you to stop legal and genuine hunting, they are just asking you to change your ammunition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a wonderful Hawk experience day on Saturday. The best birthday present experience I've ever had. Simply wonderful. Handled and flew so many wonderful birds - from kites to buzzards.
Extremely well organised and in such idyllic surroundings. My 11- year old daughter loved being there too.
Many thanks to Mark, the main trainer on the day, to Adam too and to Jemima for running such a fantastic place. Looking forward to coming back.
Best wishes,
Peter
