Hello All, We hope you are having a lovely Autumn. As the leaves are changing color, decorating the landscape with yellows, golds, browns and reds, a lot of the wildlife are still very active. During a walk around the site over the last few days, I came upon a newly dug badger sett, I found […]

A short blogpost by guest Juliet Fay … I’ve always been drawn to ash without knowing much about it, other than the fact you can burn it green.

What do you think of when someone say’s the magic words ‘wildlife photography’? This was just one of the questions asked and discussed when teaching wildlife photography at Denmark Farm. It is one of those deceptive questions that at first glance has an easy answer but which quickly leads to hard realities. On asking this […]

The Young Rangers after-school club are looking for new recruits. Since last summer James and Lea from Woodland Classroom have been inspiring children to get into the woods at Denmark Farm and take part in a host of activities, games and learning in nature. The club has been a runaway success, and there’s good news […]

On a brief walk round the farm this morning 8 male Pied Flycatchers were located. This is a very high number for such a small site but actually rather low compared with a detailed survey in 2012 which found 16 territories. The reason for the apparent decline is hopefully due to the timing of the […]

So, from all of us at Denmark Farm, thank you so much for your support. All our backers will be […]

This week a pair of Spotted Flycatchers had a lucky escape at Denmark Farm. Eagle-eyed campers noticed a nondescript brown bird entering the flue of the wood burner for the yurt.  It seemed possible that they had seen a Spotted Flycatcher using the pipe as a nest site so I popped up to take a […]
