After a long wait Beryl finally had her litter of piglets in the early hours this morning. Once she got started they just kept coming...

Blue skies, spring day. Two labradors one black, one cream sitting at the head of the U shaped High Cup Nick Valley having a rest and breather
As the weather forecast was to be good today, I decided to revisit High Cup Nick, see my last post with a Feb pic. Today was a shorts day and mid teen temperatures and the dogs had a fabulous time

A classic U-shaped valley, or "nick," carved by glaciers around 20,000 years ago, featuring hard whin sill dolerite rock.

My calendar said that Beryl should have farrowed 3 weeks ago but there were no signs, just disappointment for me.
Patience is a virtue ๐

I spotted this Dipper collecting nesting material this morning. Plus there was a beautiful dawn chorus to listen to while out and about filming as the sun came up. Spring arriving in little steps #Spring #Dipper #Wildlife #Teesdale #NorthPennines
With piglets growing fast, there's usually at least one troublemaker

Last weekend at the Weardale Wassail, two colourful silk painted adders made their first graceful appearance.
Look out for more film footage of the project.

a view from high up looking over the hills. It's a very cloudy day with a strip of sky showing and the sun breaking through to hit part of the hills below, which are fiercely green
Remembered I took a handful of photos a couple of weeks ago that I never actually got off the camera.

After 10 years of pig breeding, I still can't judge how long until she'll farrow so I'll keep on high alert all night!

It's cold. It's snowed overnight here in the #NorthPennines which is just covering the sheet ice. It can only mean one thing... It's @spinerace.bsky.social week #dotwatching
Good luck folks and hope to see some of you up here at halfway soon
Our newest Tamworth gilt is due to have her first litter sometime next week
