Our new wetlands have been graced by a magnificent White-tailed Eagle over the last 36 hours before moving off.
I spotted it with a thermal imager at 4.50am. I kept well away & watched it fly off over the village church at 5.58am.
What an incredible day.

Collapsed 19th century clay drainage pipes are being replaced in Althorp park this today. No original drainage plans to work from.
We needed to drain the standing water away from our oak trees.
A new pipe system will be in this week, we WILL leave plans!

Snow flurry @AlthorpHouse 8.00 this morning. All gone in under an hour. Yesterday's temperature went from 2 degrees to 11 degrees in 4 hours! British weather never fails to amaze. All been seen before I'm sure.

This is just one of the places where flood water burst through Althorp's perimeter wall over the weekend. These stones were scattered as far as 70 metres through the woodland, even though some weighed well over 100 kg.

A large percentage of the daily basics we consume is produced by our farmers, including high quality meats, cereals and vegetables.
Please show support for YOUR farmers, or we might all pay "the price" literally!

With the 2 vineyards at ⁦@AlthorpHouse⁩ planted & thriving - one (at Nobottle - great name for a brand of wine) on what seems to be the site of a Roman vineyard from c. 1,800 years ago, I’m spending time looking at who can produce the best possible wine from our grapes.

We recently assisted @AlthorpHouse boost their security by installing our CESAR Security System with @DatatagID technologies to all their farm equipment. Supported by @hutch472 from @NorthantsPolice Rural Crime Team this move will deter theft and help keep the estate safe.

[Adey A @AdeysAlthorp]

Unprecedented flash flooding in our Estate villages. Estate staff worked long into the night at many estate properties doing what we could. The roads were running like rivers.
Big thank you to @DylanHartley for all your help.
