The poor much maligned wasp, let it be 🙁
Can you be more specific? Wasp or Hornet?
A couple of weeks ago in conjugation with Exeter University
We placed a sonic trap, 2 Harp Traps and an insect trap in the vineyard for two nights!
The results were outstanding
Over 30 bars trapped, measured, weighed , sampled ect representing 6 species.We caught
Pipperstrelle
Long brown eared
Greater horseshoe
Bechstein
And barbastelle
The last 2 being very rare ancient woodland species 🤷🏻♂️
They come back in September for another trap and to verify if what the eating represents what insects were caught in the vineyard!
It appears Dalwood is Bat..tastic!!

How interesting. I’d not heard of the final two bats mentioned. It must have been lovely to have examined those captured at such close quarters.
What a great thing to do, the variety is surprising too. A real treat to get up close and personal with them, not sure about the one with teeth!
Used to love watching them at dusk flying in garden. Didn’t realise there was so many types in Dalwood.
Amazing! 🦇
That's fantastic 😀
BEFORE and AFTER lifting wires on the Solaris …..
This allows the fruiting zone to get sunlight and air flow
But
Also we can drive down the row!

Good ole Sam
Mowed the vineyard this evening!!

So was a big job…. But part of our new mantra
“Scruffy means Diversity”
Well done Sam

Awesome views great place for a glass of wine 🍷🥂 or two 😉
Left our top garden the same. It has looked really good. What's not to like, less work and petrol!👍
Love the furgy tractor super view
EXCITING PROJECT
On Monday and Tuesday evening in conjunction with Exeter University.. we are trapping Bats… with a view to establishing which species are using the vineyard and to see if they contribute an economic impact on pest control!!
We may need some volunteers..

Hi it's says you may need volunteers, do you know if the volunteers need to be experienced, as Sarah would be interested as it would be good experience for her college course.
I'd love to help with this! No experience though :/ but happy to help!
Why trap ??? I helped with a bat survey last year and used a sonic thingy, that recorded the exact bat species flying over the garden with amazing results......
I’m sure Harry Hawkins can move fast enough for that job 🤣🤣🤣.
Morris would like to help if that's ok
Wow!
We are in full flower… was lovely up the vineyard last night, tucking in and lifting wires!
When you are surrounded by negativity, angst and spite…. It is joy to have solace with plants that want to yield and be fruitful

Keep up the good work 👏 life is full of surprises enjoy every moment of it keep safe and take care 🙂 things can only get better
They are getting about… if you live near the vineyard and you find a wasp nest…. Let me know!!
There could well be a bottle of wine in it for you!
WHY…. In 2020 which was a monster wasp year, they depleted yields by over 1 tonne.
Or 750 bottles
Plus introduce disease, reduce quality and sting you when picking!

The poor much maligned wasp 🙁
We have a nest but hopefully too far away to trouble you ! Hope you don’t get troubled by any more local ones !
We need pollinators?
Will keep a lookout!
Inflorescence … looking like flowering may happen in the next week or so
First 2 are the Madeline Angevin last 2 are the Solaris … huge growth difference
Last one is Pinot , just checking everything is in order!!

We need to book up our tour!! 🥂
Beautiful 👍🥂
Bud rubbing and shoot selection
This prevents overcrowding in the canopy, ensuring the right shoots are left growing the right direction!
For better ripening and disease control

Heading towards Bud Burst on the Solaris .. by the end of this week they should be out… the other varieties still a good week or so behind!

Top sharingWorried you might have missed today's Cheese & Wine sampling? Paul is sticking around until 4.00pm, so there's still time to come down for a try!
The Dalwood vineyard Sparkling 2019 has been really popular today, with tasting notes of orchard fruits and apple crumble appealing to a lot of our customers. 🍷
If you're after some weekend cheese, you're still in luck! We're currently sampling Fourme d'Ambert, Rosary Goats Cheese, Tomme de Savoie, and Saint Nectaire. 🧀

Thanks, Mike! Your Dalwood Sparkling 2019 goes fantastically with the Rosary Goat's. We'll make sure to bring some, when we're next down...
