I am overwhelmed with the response to this post! If I have saved even one barn owl from drowning, job done! @BarnOwlTrust

To all livestock farmers, particularly during this hot time, please remember to safeguard Barn Owls from drowning in your troughs! I put concrete blocks in mine! @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive

@Tom1992howarth @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive Out of an unnatural watering hole? Don’t be stupid.

Heat wave!

In the uplands of England we’re fortunate to have a cooling breeze, most of the time.

Still, shade helps the beef cattle and, by law, I have to provide it at 32c and above.

I’ve planted thousands of trees on the farm; shade and shelter were key reasons. Right now, I have to use the tree cover I have wisely.

The portable water trough means I can easily graze in shade during the day, then, in the open overnight.

Eat real red meat and animal fat; buy the best you can.

@dikesmarshfarm Take note if you need to.

@TalesOfKalfinda @JusticiarsWatch @TrooperSnooks @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive Large herbivores are needed to maintain many grassland habitats. If you can bring back bison to roam our lands once again, then perhaps I’ll agree with you. However, people like meat & in small quantities is good for you. We do need to eat much less though, & stop all imports.

This Wryneck was a lovely surprise on the Salisbury Plain today. It is the 9th we have ringed there. The place really is special👌.

We should all eat less meat, but when we do it meat ensure the quality is high #BestBritishBeef

Will you be eating less meat to hit Starmer’s climate target? 👀
