From yesterday. Turn the sound on, you can heard a wren, blackbird, chaffinch and possibly a dunnock? #farming #naturefriendlyfarming #wildlifematters #manxbirds #bluebells #isleofman
I love this little area on the farm, it’s quite high up so the views are lovely but the carpet of bluebells are just stunning. It’s surrounded by bird song and insects buzzing round #wildflowers #NatureFriendlyFarming #farming #isleofman
Love all the wildflowers that are appearing. Bluebells starting to open up- soon will be a mass of them. Last of the Wood Sorrel, lots of Lady’s Smock about the farm, seen male orange tip butterflies but no eggs yet on the Lady’s Smock. #wildflowers #biosphereIOM #isleofman

What do you mean it’s not a climbing frame?
The one in front is our bottle fed lamb who is still always near her sister and Mum even tho mum refuses to feed her #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman
Gaia is in the Isle of Man for 3 weeks at St Thomas’s church, Douglas. It’s stunning and huge, looks magnificent in a church with it majestic architecture. Realise Africa and the Pacific Ocean are massive. Well worth a visit. #Gaia #earthfromspace #isleofman
And then there was only one ……. This beautiful single, a ewe was born in the afternoon leaving just one left to lamb

This is our bottle fed lamb, she’s 4 weeks old tomorrow. She has been quite a challenge as it is only in the last few days she comes to you for her bottle, before we had to chase her round the pen to catch her! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #bottlefedlamb #farming #lambing #isleofman
High up on the farm looking down at Peel - still beautiful even on rainy days like this #scenicviews #hillfarm #Peel #lovemyfarm #biosphereIOM #isleofman
There were 3 left to lamb …..these beautiful twins born this afternoon means we only have 2 left to lamb #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreeds #lambing #farming #isleofman
Hello boys - the shop isn’t open yet! #turkeys #freerange #freetoroam #turkeys arefun #farming #isleofman
10mins before the scanner arrived this one lambed! So only 6 to scan, 3 pregnant and 3 empty. 3 out of just under 100 ewes isn’t bad. Very happy as lambing almost finished! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman
Exciting day tomorrow - out of nearly 100 pregnant ewes we only have 7 who haven’t lambed….yet! so they are being scanned tomorrow to see how many we really have still to lamb. I’ve bet 4, the other half bet 2….we’ll see tomorrow! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #lambing #isleofman
Are you sitting comfortably?..…then I’ll begin

Moved up a field to new grass, all the lambs in a gang at the back but don’t seem to stressed not to be by mum….mums & lambs all together an hour later #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman
Then there are 8 left to lamb……getting there slowly after this lovely single today #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman
My beautiful big boys - we had to bring them in as one was limping which needed treating - love these fellas, they are truly a gentle bunch #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreeds #farming #isleofman
