A bit of luck led us to a farmer who has the right size of equipment and has now already cut our field last Thursday, back yesterday to turn the grass over and so it should be baled and removed soon.
Not many butterflies flying now!! Scabious cut down still in flower but many had already seeded. They always come back and even spread.
Took some photos of berries on new hedge for the Somerset Hedge Group photography competition but not expecting to show in the winners list!
The photos below show the baling in progress.
After turning to dry out the grass it was then turned a second time to pile it into ridges ready for baling
This seems to be a Slow Worm caught out in the open during the hay cutting or the subsequent turning. It appeared undamaged but also seems quite dead. Also found a dead shrew.
About a quarter of the field had less grass than the rest.
This is the relatively small tractor and baler.
