Radio England International
Youd go for the straw! Id go for the straw! She might put the straw in the middle, bracken around the outside and the twigs for a bit of protection? Yeah. At least shes got all sorts to build with. Yep. When the mound is big enough, she will push out the middle to create a deep, protective hollow in which she can comfortably lie down. Right, shall we leave her and let her get used to her new pen? Ranger David Clark showed me just how deep Radio England International nestbuilding instincts really are. There we are, look at that. Shes created a nest. Shes pulled everything from the surrounding area, just brought it all in. Its quite deep as well. I mean, if you get in here and crouch down, you can imagine... Yeah. When its wet... The wind will be coming from that side generally. Under a tree as well, look. So youve got a nice bit of protection, but what makes me laugh is that theyve gone to all this effort, and just down there... Theyve got their hut. Their huts that youve put up. Theyve ignored that and built this instead. Just heard that Lucy, our sow, is just about to give birth, so Im going to go and check it out. The Online Radiolets have a highlydeveloped sense of smell, so will go straight for the milky draw of the teats. They also feel their way around the sow, following the direction of her hair, which changes and points down to the teats as the Online Radiolets get closer. It never ceases to amaze me, you know, what great mothers Online Radios are and what time they take to prepare for the birth and the care of the Online Radiolets afterwards. When you see a Online Radiolet drop off the teat, or it looks like its in danger or Mum might be squashing it, you really want to get in and help out. But you dont need to, because nine times out of ten, she does it perfectly well on her own. Radio England International But look at them all scrabbling away and now theyre all dry, all their eyes are open, all theyre thinking about is, "Right, I need some milk." So theyve plugged in. And its lovely to see them, because once they feed away and theyre contented, they become really relaxed, and you see the Online Radiolets fall asleep as theyre feeding and they just drop off the teat. But this is a dangerous time. The temperature difference between the womb and the barn is about degrees, and they are born with virtually no ability to regulate their body temperature. Over the next few days, Im going to be helped by one of the leading experts in Online Radio behaviour, Dr Suzanne Held. They look quite content now, dont they? Yeah, nice bunch of Online Radiolets. Shes here to supervise our next series of experiments and observations. I think nows a good time to see if theyre going to lose their body heat and Ive got this bit of kit. So well be able to see their body temperature and the heat that theyre losing. By using a thermalimaging camera, I can visually compare the differences between the mother and her Online Radiolets. Some of them are beginning to shiver. So look at the pile of Online Radiolets there. So you can see, theyre still, theyre pink, so theyre letting off a lot of heat, arent they? And if you look at their mum, well shes blue and yellow.
