      Informative video, thank you. Last couple of weeks, I've found a lot of otter sprainting spots on a long stretch of brook in the north western peak district feeding totally on signal crayfish. Looks like they've munched through all their resources of crayfish as very limited fish in this little stream. I'm guessing they have swam back down this secluded tributary stream back into the main river.

    • @MUSTASCH1O
      @MUSTASCH1O Рік тому

      I'm not even remotely an expert in pony feeding behaviour, but it should be safe. The main poisonous plants I saw were hogweed and ragwort. As far as I know, horses instinctively know not to eat poisonous plants because of the smell or bitter taste. You don't hear of wild horses dropping dead after all. Poisonings tend to occur in fields that are overgrazed, leaving no alternative to the starving horses. Give your horses enough forage and they will do the rest for you. This comment doesn't consider harvesting the field for hay. Drying for hay makes poisonous plants palatable, though horses have to eat a large amount of poisonous hay to fall ill.

  • @ColinMill1
    @ColinMill1 3 роки тому

    I don't think I would worry too much about the rattle getting out of hand. We introduced it to one area in 2015 (just 10grams of seed planted in two small patches) and it spread quite quickly over about 1/2 an acre at a high density. However, it has subsequently become significantly less dense on that plot over the last two years while being still quite dense on a plot seeded in 2017. I suspect that as the rattle weakens the shallow-rooted rye-grass it thins out itself (I was given to expect as much by Emorsgate who supplied the seed originally)

    • @MUSTASCH1O
      @MUSTASCH1O Рік тому

      I wouldn't be surprised if the success of the yellow rattle is a function of the vigor of the grasses in the meadow. Take away too much rattle, and the grasses will just fill the gap, rather than more flowers.

    • @ColinMill1
      @ColinMill1 Рік тому

      @@MUSTASCH1O Yes indeed. I think one has to keep the rattle going or, as you say the grass is going to come back full strength. We now have several meadow areas and if the rattle gets thin on one we usually have lots on another. I move the arisings from area to area and rake them around to bring rattle seeds from one to the other. Hopefully the areas won't all run low on rattle in the same year.
