🐝🐿️ A busy day behind the scenes at Calbourne Water Mill! 🐿️🐝

It's been one of those days where nature has certainly kept us on our toes.

Earlier today, Shaun was called out to Ryde to safely rescue a swarm of bees that had settled on a driveway. The bees have now been successfully relocated and are already settling into their new home here at the Mill. They're certainly buzzing to be in their new surroundings! 🐝

We've also been keeping a close eye on Squirrel Nutkin, our gorgeous little red squirrel, who has been looking a bit patchy recently. The good news is that he's still zipping around the grounds, keeping active and feeding well.

We've been liaising with both and for advice, and Jenny at has been making sure there's plenty of food available for him. We're monitoring him closely and keeping our fingers crossed that it's nothing serious and that we'll have some positive news to share soon. ❤️🐿️

One thing's for certain – there's never a dull day at Calbourne Water Mill!

Have you spotted Squirrel Nutkin on your visits recently?
