Experimental anti fouling Mada-Chuain. We had to jet wash/scrape 3 times last year & lost a lot of days & trips out. We used Gael Force Group paints with minimal environmental impact to see if we can reduce growth & days lost this year. Back in water in a few days & will see 🤞👌

🐿 From mid-April onwards, we'll start to see red squirrel kits emerging from their dreys!

We've already received reports of mothers seen moving their young from drey to drey. It won't be long now before the kits themselves are on the move!

To all walkers If u see sheep lying on its back with legs up, it is 'cast'. Please tip/roll it back over; if left like this, they can die as they can not get up. most 'cast' sheep will be carrying lambs, hence their struggle to get to their feet.
Please be kind enough to share.

A hippo, rhino & more!
