Sheep on Road
Posted in Farming, Roads on Wednesday April 22, 2026| Leave a Comment »
Thanks to Lauren W for this message this morning –
Just to make you aware, sheep are out again on the road out of Parwich, near Ballidon turn off. This was at 0715 this morning, so they’re bound to escape further over the course of the day. They’re very near the blocker that was put in the hedge if that helps.

Hello,

Thanks

Sheep Attacked and Lambs Killed by Dog
Posted in Ballidon, Environment, Farming, Fauna on Monday May 8, 2023| Leave a Comment »
Two lambs have been killed with a third left seriously injured following an attack by a dog.
A walker has also been through a gate not on the public footpath and left it open, meaning the sheep have all been mixed up from their original groupings.
This has happened on the fields opposite the triangle at the bent (bottom of Highway Lane), the fields that the footpath to Ballidon cross and the fields behind them.
If anyone has seen anything at all then please contact Liz Edge on 07545 345 504.
Please also use this as a polite reminder that all dogs should be kept on leads as per the Highway Code – particularly at such a sensitive time of year when the sheep are in lamb.

Whose Rams?
Posted in Farming on Saturday March 18, 2023| 1 Comment »
Update:
Thank you to all who helped us track down the owners. The rams are now safely home.
A huge limb off one of our beech trees at the perimeter of the croft had fallen onto the boundary fence. Mike and Gill R
If anyone can help us find the owner of 4 rams which have taken up
residence in the croft at Flaxdale Houe, we would much appreciate it.
The rams look quite happy grazing away, and leaving their droppings, but
they are sharing the croft with my beehives which I visit daily. I think
they may have been in the croft since Thursday, when the gates were
briefly left open (for 30 minutes) while I went up to Newhaven to
collect our groceries at Stanedge Grange.
Mike and Gill R
The images attached should enable the owner to identify them. They are
big beasts with big coats as you can see
Calves loose

16.20 pm. There are 6 calves loose near Townhead where the barn is being renovated. We haven’t been able to get a response from Hilltop or Fouffinside so if anyone has a mobile number and can ring to let them know, that’d be great.
Thanks

Rural Crime Reporting Form
Posted in Environment, Farming, Police on Tuesday November 29, 2022| Leave a Comment »
A new crime form has been launched to encourage communities to report rural and wildlife crimes online.
Sergeant Chris Wilkinson, from the force’s Rural, Wildlife and Heritage Crime Team, said “We want to reassure our rural communities that we are here to support you if you need us.
“By offering an online way of reporting these crimes directly to our team, we can take all the details we need to provide an efficient and suitable police response. This should also save time for the person reporting the crime.
“Whilst we do investigate these crimes thoroughly already, and put other crime prevention measures in place, we do know that rural communities can sometimes feel expected to put up with criminal activity. We are committed to proving that this is not the case.” Read the full article on our website: Specialist rural and wildlife reporting tools launched in Derbyshire | Derbyshire Constabulary

Bird Lockdown Starts Tomorrow

The Chief Veterinary Officers for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have agreed to bring in new housing measures to protect poultry and captive birds from avian influenza following a number of confirmed cases across Great Britain in recent weeks.
“Whether you keep just a few birds or thousands, from Monday 29 November onwards you will be legally required to keep your birds indoors, or take appropriate steps to keep them separate from wild birds. We have not taken this decision lightly, taking this action now is the best way to protect your birds from this highly infectious disease.”

Bell’s Yard Sheep Escape?
Posted in Farming on Friday June 18, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Three of the four sheep normally in Bell’s Yard are grazing on Parwich Hill this morning. Not sure if they are supposed to be there as the gate at the Hilltop end of the path is open. Looks like they may have busted through the old gate as a couple of the cross struts are broken.
Sorry I don’t know who’s sheep they are, apologies if all is in order.

Freedom for Hens in Sight
Posted in Farming, Pets of Parwich, Uncategorized on Friday March 19, 2021| Leave a Comment »
For all those who have been doing their best to keep the wild bird population and other people’s poultry flocks safe by restricting their own birds, today’s government announcement comes as very welcome news:
19 March 2021: The risk of avian influenza to both wild and kept birds has reduced to ‘medium’. The Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) requiring enhanced biosecurity will remain in force but Wednesday 31 March 2021 will be the last day poultry and other captive birds will need to be housed (housing restrictions end 23:59 31 March 2021). Bird gatherings are still prohibited. High standards of biosecurity remain essential as infection may still be present in the environment.

Hen Lockdown
Posted in Farming, Pets of Parwich on Tuesday January 5, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Seeing the advert for a cockerel has prompted me to let people know that it is a difficult time for poultry keepers. For anyone unfamiliar with keeping poultry, since 14 Dec 2020 all poultry and other captive birds have had to be separated from wild birds by being housed or totally enclosed in netted pens. Birds cannot free range. This is due to avian flu within the UK and applies whether you keep one bird or thousands. Further information and updates on locations of disease outbreaks can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu
