Earlier in the year at Littleton Farm Barns, we had a number of mallard ducklings brought to us that had lost their mother's. Unfortunately, not all survived but the two that did have been raised in one of our brooding pens and yesterday they had their first taste of freedom. "Ollie" one of our Indian runner/mallard crosses is keeping them company, whilst our matriarch, "Olga" our Muscovy keeps a close eye on them 🤗

Our five kestrel chicks at Littleton Farm Barns are growing incredibly fast! We can see changes in them every single day. Thankfully, food is still plentiful, with both mum and dad diligently hunting. We're expecting the eldest chicks to fledge in just 7-10 days.

It's sobering to consider that kestrel numbers have dropped by around 40% since 1995. With an estimated 31,000 breeding pairs across the UK's 17.4 million hectares of agricultural land, it highlights just how few kestrels there are. As long as we're here, we're committed to doing our part to help increase their population.

I thought I'd give an update on our 5 kestrel chicks at Littleton Farm Barns. They are now 3 weeks old and all are doing well! They are starting to lose their down and their primary feathers are coming through. Mum is still hunting and feeding them regularly and dad is making regular "deliveroo" drop offs to top up the larder. They should be getting ready to fledge in the next couple of weeks and hopefully we should by then have an idea of how many males and females we have.

Well, our 5 kestrel chicks, are doing very well indeed at Littleton Farm Barns. There seems to be such an abundance of prey at the moment, than on occasions the chicks are disinterested in food and with heavy bellies, they're falling over like drunks🤣

An update from our kestrel nest at Littleton Farm Barns! Our resident mother is diligently caring for a full brood of five healthy chicks. In a heartening turn from last year, the male is playing a much more active role, regularly bringing meals to support his growing family. Even with a persistent leg injury, she is proving to be a resilient parent, and the entire family is doing well.

Excellent News from Littleton Farm Barns: Our Kestrel Family is Growing!

We're happy to announce that three of 5 eggs have hatched! The parents are already working tirelessly to feed their hungry new arrivals, and we're eagerly hoping the final two eggs will hatch in the next 24 hours.

Unfortunately, the female sustained a significant leg injury about three weeks ago. While she's still noticeably struggling to put weight on it, she has been an incredibly resilient and devoted parent, managing wonderfully so far. We're keeping everything crossed for her and her growing family.

In just 3 short weeks at Littleton Farm Barns, our Jackdaw chicks have gone from scrawny babies to young birds on the edge of fledging.

Meanwhile, our resident kestrel continues to sit on her clutch of 5 eggs and we are expected her first chick, in the next few days 😊

It's been a week since our Jackdaw chicks hatched, and while we sadly lost one that was too weak, the remaining three are thriving! Their parents are diligently caring for them, and they are certainly making their presence known with their raucous calls!

On a brighter note, our resident female kestrel has laid an encouraging six eggs, hopefully signaling a successful breeding season with plenty of food. We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of her chicks around early June!

Loving all the wildlife at Littleton Farm Barns. 🤗

The unfolding beauty of spring continues to grace Littleton Farm Barns, with the rhythm of new life quickening. We were delighted today to witness our first ducklings exploring the pond, and shortly after, the arrival of two hatchling jackdaws.

Our female kestrel continues to diligently sit on her clutch of four eggs, and we're hopeful for the arrival of her chicks in early June

We don't believe in resting on our laurels at Littleton Farm Barns, and work continues over the weekends.

This weekends job was to enlarge the annexe garden to give our guests more outside space and to give a better view over the new pond.

The garden is now three times the size it was, all fully dog proofed! All ready, bar some finishing gardening work for our next guests tomorrow..

So after yesterdays "difficult to watch" encounter between 2 jackdaws and a pigeon in one of Littleton Farm Barns Bird of prey boxes, we had the pleasure last night of a barn owl deciding to sleep overnight. We've yet to have owls breed in one of the boxes, but here's hoping!
