From brambles to butterflies - and a Quest your whole family will love. Starts Saturday! We’ve gently cleared some Bramble patches over the winters, leaving young trees to thrive. The result? A patchwork of copse, scrub, and meadows alive with invertebrate life. On these warm summer days, we’re seeing a flurry of butterflies - Purple Emperors, White Admirals, Silver Washed Fritillaries - and even a few Golden Ringed Dragonflies on the hunt. It’s hard to stay focused with that kind of magic! 🌿 Speaking of wild distractions…

Dear Reader, We now have four Swallows singing from our electricity line, chasing each other through the air. The Grasshopper Warblers surround us, and the spring flowers are in full bloom — a Giant Orchid on the loop, Wild Garlic down by the river, and Primroses gracing every grassy patch they can put roots down in. There are Cuckoo flowers in abundance too, but we are yet to hear one… I (Katie) had a very strange dream that I had heard a Cuckoo, only to realise it was someone playing a...
Dear Reader, It’s been a month since our last letter. We’ve been busy. The house build continues here at Wild Finca — plastering, endless roofing, and so many decisions! And then, amidst all that, quite suddenly, spring seems to have sprung! January was relentless with storms. Last week, when we visited the beach, we found three dead Puffins washed ashore — a sobering reminder of how wild and fragile winter can be. So we are especially grateful to feel we’re coming through the other side. In...
Dear Reader,We have something special to share with you this week. Last spring our lovely friends Penny and Dave Green visited us here at Wild Finca. You may remember the newsletter afterwards - full of moth trapping, bio-blitzing, and all sorts of other magical nature activities.While they were here, Penny also recorded a conversation with us for her wonderful podcast The Wandering Ecologist. Listening back feels like stepping straight into an Asturian spring day - birds calling, pond...
