I looked out the window to see Albus with his hands in the cement mixer... Dear @ReaderWe hope your week’s been wild - in the best possible way - and that you haven’t melted entirely. It’s scorching here, and most of the Wild Finca crew have kept up the daily wild swims. We’ve needed to. The other day, Luke went to a school meeting and - completely out of the blue - our boys were held up as the example of what summer should look like: climbing trees, running free, independent, wild. Idyllic,...

Plus a 3-day nature connection adventure is coming soon - want in? Dear Reader, We hope you’ve had a wild week! Our boys broke up for the summer holidays on Friday, and we headed straight to the river to celebrate. Since then, we’ve managed a wild swim every single day - Saturday was the sea, Sunday and Monday brought us to different river spots. It got us thinking: why not make it a challenge? So, we’ve decided to try and swim every full day we’re home this summer holiday. We’ll keep you...

Dear Wild Finca Community, We hope you had a wonderfully wild weekend! Ours certainly was… We’ve just had a magical visit from our dear friends Penny and Dave Green, brilliant ecologists and the duo behind Lughurst Ecology. They were in northern Spain for a holiday before heading to us, and together we dove into all kinds of bio-blitzing here at Wild Finca. Some of you may recognise Penny from her days as Head Ecologist at the Knepp Project (where the seeds of Wild Finca were first sown for...

Dear Wild Finca Community, Happy Friday!

We’ve also been deeply grateful for all the comments, messages, and emails from those of you who joined us live. Thanks Luke and...

Dear Wild Finca Community, The beauty of Wild Finca lies in its ever-changing landscape. Time here is a constant reminder that nature is always in flux. Just recently, we shared the bittersweet news about our declining Red-backed Shrikes—a subtle sign of ecological shifts. But then came the surprise: the arrival of Bee-eaters. When one species disappears, another may arrive or return. Some come quietly, whilst others shake the land like an avian earthquake. We try to read the signs along the...

Dear Wild Finca Community, This weekend reminded us why we started all this! We welcomed a lovely family to Wild Finca for a half-day wander, and the land offered up its treasures — three Egyptian Vultures, a pale morph Booted Eagle being mobbed by crows, Golden-ringed Dragonflies buzzing through the meadow, and Roan doing a brilliant impression of a crab-spider (very convincing!). Roan the Crab Spider And the ponds? Bursting with newts and dragonfly nymphs. The girls who were visiting went...
