| Our NEW showroom is open we
have, at last, moved out of our tatty, leaky and rapidly
falling down portacabin and moved into a plush new office. Now
we can at last show you our full range of wild bird products
without tripping over the buckets on the floor to catch the
rain!! Please come along and take a look for yourselves, hours
are 9am to 5pm Mon - Fri.
Farm Walks for 2008 two
farm walks will go ahead in the spring. The Devon Wildlife
Trust will have a walk on the 13th April starting at 2pm,
meeting in the farm yard which will be sign posted. We
would hope to see plenty of spring migrants such as Wheatear
and Swallow and if we are lucky maybe a singing Whitethroat or
two.
On the 22nd June a walk will take
place in conjunction with South Devon Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty to help celebrate the year of Food and Farming.
We should see all our resident summer visitors who will be
well into the breeding season. On the farm, growing crops will
be well advanced and we will be pointing out how growing seeds
for Soar Mill Seeds helps in our conservation policies . Also
if the weather is good you will have a great walk.
New for 2007 in
conjunction with the Soar Mill Cove hotel I will be taking a
group of hotel guests on a weekend guided walk around our farm
and the Kingsbridge estuary. Called "Dream Breaks"
this 4 day break will be a leisurely guided walk around our glorious
Devon countryside while enjoying the four star hospitality of
this renowned hotel.
For more information please visit www.soarmillcove.co.uk
and look for Special Breaks.
We hosted a farm walk on the 24th
September for the Devon Wildlife Trust, their members were there but ALL
were most welcome.
We started the 2 hour walk by
watching one of the juvenile Barn Owls that has taken to
roosting in our shed, completely oblivious to the crowd he sat
there dozing. We were blessed with warm sunny weather although
a little windy, Cirl buntings, hunting Kestrels and soaring
Buzzards were all seen. Good numbers of butterflies too with
Clouded yellows and a Coma amongst the more common. |
