No luck, though!! Looking forward to returningnext year. ValSat Nov 5 21:01:10 2005Veronica Smith- Hopkins Cape Sable Island ,Nova ScHad a nice little chuckle my sister Carlene and I today, whenwe stumbled upon the group photos of the folks of Bardseyisland. It is nice to see that Adrian George has put on a bitof weight, from his own cooking, and from being in hometerritority. Looking good Ade! What a wonderful island andsuch history. Carlene and I would like to be there andperhaps, Ade, you could feed me instead of me feeding you.lol. veronicaWed Jul 6 23:33:17 2005This site is now closed and cannot accept newcomments.

One was expecting a calf, but gotinto difficulties and the vet had to deliver the calf bycaesarean to save the life of the mother.However the calf survived and has been hand reared and aweek later is looking quite healthy. Named Sunshine, itfollows you about!TravelNeighbouring SitesMid WalesNorth East WalesRelated BBC SitesWalesCymruGogledd OrllewinWith lambing in full swing,there have been a few lambsrejected by their mothers. Allhave been fostered out withother ewes except for one known as 'Marvin - no mates'.He is now three weeks old andis as tame as anything. Heeven comes when you call hisname! It seems strange to see the calf and lamb 'nuzzling'each other!Another tiny lamb was born at midday on Good Friday. It wasborn in a ditch and abandoned by its mother prior to thearrival of its twin. The twin was of normal size (and aboutthree times the size of the poor little abandoned one).However, Libby Barnden, the farmer's wife, managed torecover the lamb from the state of hypothermia that it was inand by Saturday it was looking a lot better cuddled up withits teddy bear! It was even smaller than the tiny lamb bornprematurely last year.Another recent arrival on theisland is a mule - not ananimal but a small four wheeldrive truck which is provingvery useful as an addition tothe fleet of the ageing tractors(all two of them).The mail comes over withErnest Evans - the island's part-time postman for 32 years!Ernest, a local fisherman, was brought up on the island andspends a good part of the year living there."Further little update on Bardsey"The Welsh Black calf 'Sunshine' born just before Easter hasVisit the islandPicture tourBardsey familiesIs it Avalon?Aberdaron's Red RocksBardsey on CoastUseful linksrelated bbc.co.uk linksTowns & Villages: Bardsey

Hopefully Sunshine will be backon the island before too long.The tiny abandoned lamb ' Lennor' born on Good Friday isthriving. Now three weeks old, she is still being bottle fed butis still tiny having grown little in the intervening time. The'Ahhhh' factor however more than makes up for the lack ofsize. David Barnden, who farms the island, is thinking ofgoing into production of 'bonsai' lambs!Still living in the farm kitchen, the lamb curls up at night withthe pet dogs!"Bardsey Island photo tour.

This now rare bird is normally only found in theWestern Isles of Scotland and in the west of Ireland. Therewere about 600 to 700 males in Scotland last year and theynormally migrate to Africa for the winter and return in midApril.This male arrived during mid May and has since been puttingout its distinctive 'creek creek' mating call - hoping a femalepassing on its way to Scotland might stop to sample life onBardsey!.Libby Barnden, who lives in Ty Pellaf said that it spends mostof the night calling! We could hear it calling whilst we wererecording the interviews at Ty Pellaf yesterday but every timethe producer tried to specifically record the call, it stopped!However Steve Stansfield, the Warden at the Bardsey Birdand Field Observatory did manage to get a recording.This is the second year it has been on Bardsey. Steve hasanalysed the recordings made last year with those of thisyear and he is convinced that it is the same bird. Hopefully apassing female may take pity on this corncrake and decide tostop and who knows what the result will be!Listen to the call of the corncrake.'Sunshine', the Welsh Black calf born earlier this year is offthe island again. This time she tried eating a large chunk ofswede whole which got stuck inside her. She was taken offthe island and could have ended up as a specimen at theLiverpool Veterinary College but with their assistance over thetelephone and a piece of hosepipe (the mind boggles!),Sunshine was persuaded to cough up the offending lump ofswede and she is now recovering on the mainland.

He livesin the garden at the farmhouse.Marvin No Mates continues to grow whilst Lenor (the 'bonsai'lamb) has grown a little but is still tiny compared with theother lambs.

I feel very privileged to be able to say that Ihave heard the call of the corncrake. It must have chosen avery perculiar site in which to nest in - the direction of callsseemed to emanate for a stretch of land approximately tenfeet wide (and some forty or fifty feet long) between theroad leading from the street where I live and the nearbytrain station.
