Colin Horlock fed the kites today, while I had a very
rare and pleasant afternoon away from the farm celebrating a good friend’s
birthday.
The Black Kite again made its presence known at
feeding time.
It is now over ten days since we have had running
water in the house and buildings.
Somewhere under the concrete and tarmac that
make up the farmyards is a pipe full of ice.
The novelty of carrying water has long gone.
Unfortunately, with the ground still frozen, it could be some time before
normal service is resumed.
A plan has been made to bring a new pipeline through
to the buildings, at a greater depth than those that are frozen, but its time
scale is also dependant on the thaw.
Building of the new
high-level photographic hide will soon commence, and the decision on the site
of another public hide is also getting nearer.
