Fabulous orchids abound on Popehouse moor, Wheatland farm. It's a regular June treat.

Wild strawberries: great for breakfast . But we leave plenty for the blackbirds too.

When the forecast is damp it's time to take the coffee to the turbine room.

Three nice small things: an orchid has sprung up in the lodge field in a new area, butterfly larvae are massed on nettles, and Ian is fixing up a bike for a neice to take to the Dartmouth triathlon.

The Supreme court sees common sense and we can legally wild camp on Dartmoor

Case came to supreme court after court of appeal determined the term ‘open-air recreation’ included camping

This sunny spring is really bringing out the dragonflies at Wheatland Farm, like these four spot chasers at the wildlife pond.

It's that time of year again...

How exciting! A day or so ago we heard a cuckoo here at Wheatland Farm but failed to get a recording. The next day we heard it again, but with a three note call. Now we come to look it up it seems this is usually the duetting call of a male in a courting pair.

While we feel sorry for the songbird destined to work hard to raise cuckoo chicks, it would be fabulous to think Wheatland Farm and Popehouse Moor SSSI was supporting cuckoos. It's not every year that we even hear one unless we go to Dartmoor.

Smoking kills – we all know this, that’s why to***co advertising was banned in 2002 🚬😵

But fossil fuels kill too, a study in the BMJ estimates 5.1M deaths are attributable to fossil fuels every year, worldwide.

That's why I'm calling on the UK Govt to ban fossil fuel advertising too– for too long these companies have had largely unlimited monies to greenwash their filthy reputations.
