Spring arrivals and departures in the valley

This is the podcast for alpaca people!In this episode, I reflect on the intricate dynamics within our alpaca herd and the wildlife that shares our farm. Observing their interactions during breakfast reveals their social structures, while the arrival of swallows and swans captures the seasonal shifts in behaviour. I delve into the delicate balance of territory among species and share poignant moments reflecting on the loss of Hermione, our matriarch, and the emotional challenges faced in caring for and then losing aging animals like Freds.Despite the heartache of these losses, the discovery of a robin's nest offers a hopeful reminder of nature's resilience and the cycles of life.Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.You can contact me by email - [email protected] - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of Waterside Voices.
