we’ve just uncovered something at Wild Finca…
|
Dear @Reader, Happy Sunday! There's been more genet action on our new camera trap, and we're excited to start getting to know the individuals who call Wild Finca home. We now know there are at least two visiting, thanks to an amazing side-by-side comparison by WildlifeKate that revealed their distinctive markings. Meanwhile, inch by inch, we're getting closer to finishing the house that's been almost two years in the building! Come inside Rewilding Together, the Wild Finca CommunityA place to turn concern for the natural world into knowledge, action and hope, alongside a community of people who care. Tomorrow evening, I'll be hosting a live guided tour to help you find your way around. You'll find the exact details for this in the Calendar tab of the community. And we'll be recording it for anyone who can't make it. We've also just added something else we're particularly excited to share. Our wildlife films, now inside the communityWe've added our entire mini-film series, filmed between 2014 and 2018. From Iberian lynx to the peregrines of Chicago, the hyenas of Harar to the rewilding of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, these films span the species, habitats and conservation stories that have shaped our work. We've been revisiting them with the boys recently and have realised just how foundational they were to the thinking behind Wild Finca. You'll also find some of Luke's top wildlife photography tips, plus our short film Salt, Wine and Wildlife, exploring how people and nature coexist in the Bay of Cádiz. And that's just one part of what's waiting for you inside. Learn from our experience

Dear Reader,We've just woken up to our 115th bird....the bubbling call of a Quail! Quail are nomadic migrants. They’re declining rapidly across Spain, but are more common breeders in central & southern Spain. After their first brood, as temperatures rise they sometimes migrate further north, which is likely why this one has arrived here now. The males have a very distinctive call. Often referred to as ‘Wet-my-lips’… Wild Finca, despite having scrub also has open areas of rough grass,...
Hello Reader,We hope this finds you well, and enjoying the Spring. At Wild Finca it is turning into a good one. A pair of Swallows have already fledged their first brood, RB Shrikes are calling from the tops of trees, lets hope they stay this year, and last week we had a very rare visitor…This newsletter will be more like a blog, so excuse the length…A couple of weeks ago Roan was asking Luke about vultures, specifically the Black, or Cinereous Vulture. Luke dug out some bird books and showed...
Dear Reader,Spring is our favourite time of the year at Wild Finca, and none more so than THIS spring! It has been a long winter, rain, mega storms and a never ending stressful house build. So the arrival of spring migrants like our Swallows, serenading us from the electricity wire, the fly-bys from the Egyptian Vultures, and now the blooming orchids across the land make it all the more amazing, and remind us how lucky we are, and why we live here!Recently, I (Luke) gave a lecture to...
