The weather is set to get even hotter with a heatwave predicted for the next week and possibly further. Our guests have been treated to a barn owl hunting on the lake field during the evenings. Our camp is home to a wealth of wildlife and recent sightings have included the barn owl and some roe deer. Both of these prefer to be feeding during the dawn and dusk hours. The lake field has been left fallow during the summer months which attracts many birds and insects, butterflies, crickets and beetles are plentiful and the local wildlife are always attracted to the lake field as a source of fresh water, particularly during the warmer weather. The Swan, Ethel, and the two young Canadian Geese are still present on the lake and the geese have raised 1 gosling which is nearly fully feathered now. They hatched 4 goslings, unfortunately the other 3 were predated. Also sighted this week was the sparrowhawk being mobbed by the swallows and the fox cubs which are playing in the fields on Parsonage lane during the daytimes. Soon be time for them to move on, their parents push them away once they are old enough to fend for themselves. We still have some availability for the next couple of weeks and into August - and its such a wonderful time to stay when the summer sets in!!!
