not tame at all they just crouch down in the grass to hide, it moved a couple of times but just into more uncut grass, so next run i spotted it again and moved it into hedge bottom where some tall grass is left uncut, it was pretty vocal when i picked it up and kicking a bitDidn't realise you had kangaroos up with you!
Very tame indeed!

After doing just 30 yesterday as a trial run, today's 250 came as a bit of a shock.
Had to move this little fellow (pied wagtail) 4 times as he wanted to play in the way of my wheels.

Our bee keeper added to her numbers today
Gave up hoping for rain so fired up Norris McSquirter
Tried out the new to us rain gun
And our new sprinkler system (it’s bound to rain all summer now!)

Not exactly me but ...
FIL just presented me with a board to go one of the dogs run ...
...bearing in mind he is 97 with dementia so his grasp of spelling and numbers is a struggle but he has just carved this ,

Bit long winded this one guys so get yourselves comfy
I got the following WhatsApp from my dad a few weeks ago
We aren’t exactly sure in the history of this tank, we know it was here in 1927 when great grandad bought the farm but we don’t know the exact time it was built.
Dad remembered either Grandad or Great Grandad telling him that they used to have to empty the tank with an old diaphragm pump, you could see evidence of where the pump fitted once we got the concrete stripped back
Then once we got the lid removed we found the old pump, this hasn’t seen day light for at least 96 years
The construction of the roof was 8” sandstone. Theses measured 2mx2mx200mm and weighed around 2t. Makes you wonder how they moved them from quarry to farm and lifted them in place back then
Then we think in the 50’s great Grandad put a concrete slab over the lid, went a bit overboard with 2” of concrete mind
Finally we shuttered an poured it with mesh and 30mm reinforcment bar, if my work lasts another 100years I’ll be happy

Couldn't find a calf in a field where there were 20 other cattle and long grass as we are prepared for dry times. Couldn't find the little devil anywhere
Had to get the drone out.
He was fine.
