@BelvideBirda@philcollins54@PeteBacheTheDon@KeithAslett Two at least hung around for a few hours. I hope they liked the place enough to come back, though I think the buzzards weren't keen on them, and the crows mobbed them.
FIVE kites above the garden of the hall today, when we only occasionally see the odd one at the far side of the park. Any idea (beyond a lamb dinner) why the sudden influx? @philcollins54@PeteBacheTheDon@KeithAslett@BelvideBirda

@12isAmongUs Some of it was filmed at Chillington - trust us, it's going to a beautiful (and moving) experience - we're so envious that you guys will be seeing it before us Brits!
We're so excited that #Benediction by #Terencedavies is having its premiere this week at the Toronto International Film Festival! The production spent four weeks in September 2020 filming here, and we can't wait to see the finished product! #TIFF21#jeremyirvine#jacklowdon
@ktppennyk He is still very much loved, and still used by the little Giffards and tiny visitors to the house! Testament to your ancestor's skills and craftsmanship.
@wtonwi It was so lovely to have visitors again too! We really enjoyed meeting you, and I will pass your kind words onto Rachelle. Best wishes, Claire @ Chillington

Mink in your garden, or have you spotted them nearby? An invasive species, they are intelligent and adaptable predators which can cause problems for some of our native and migrant bird populations, as well as other small mammals. Please tweet @south_staffs with any sightings!
If you've spotted any American Mink in South Staffs please let us know as we are keen to understand the distribution of mink in the area. Since the 50's & 60's they have spread across Great Britain, having a devastating effect on our native population of sea birds & water voles
@south_staffs There have been mink at Chillington for more than 20 years, we suspect coming in from the Penk. We cull about 6-8 each year in order to protect the vulnerable bird species that choose to nest and raise young here, but we have recently spotted fresh mink tracks near the Pool. ๐พ
