A Monday at Thornham.

A baby Limousin calf was born earlier this morning, the rest of the cattle were on the other side of the Park leaving mother and baby to have a rest.

The beautiful weather of the weekend continued today which was good for the Primary School children who came to have a day of P.E. at Thornham. They followed our Photo Trail and did a Point to Point exercise in the Maze Field alongside our demonstration garden.



They had a very energetic day. They also had fun doing team building games in Jack's Belt.




There are still some interesting fungi about such as Drayad Saddle Fungus and Common White Helvella






Volunteers from the Walled Garden were working hard with our Ranger, John, in the Pinetum raking and clearing after John had cut down the thistles, brambles, rank grass etc. It is important to do this so the wild flowers will grow next year.
