The Countryside HourChris Skinner's High Ash Farm at Caistor St Edmund - Monday 25th August 2014

It was a rather damp Bank Holiday Monday visit to Chris's farm for Paul Hayes this week!

  • This week's trip to High Ash Farm was something of a "Skinner Safari"
  • The first feature saw Chris take Paul to one of his pollen and nectar wild flower seed mix fields
  • Sunflowers at High Ash Farm
  • A view across the fields at High Ash Farm in Caistor St Edmund
  • More of Chris's sunflowers
  • A view between the trees
  • Looking across at the pollen and nectar mix
  • Despite the weather, there was at least one bee out and about!
  • Chris takes a closer look
  • Chris and the bee
  • Making his point
  • The pollen and nectar mix
  • Not the sunniest of views!
  • No, this isn't littering - Chris left this corrugated iron sheeting as an environment for slow worms
  • There were no slow worms today, the wet weather had them hiding away
  • Some of the ant eggs hurriedly being carried away
  • Under another sheet, a field vole quickly scurried away!
  • A cosy hideaway in this wet weather
