You have just two days (by end of tomorrow) left to cast your vote in the RSPB Nature of Farming Award.
From the hundreds of entries, making it on the shortlist of four, is Michael Poland from Wroxall Cross Farm.
One of the reasons that Michael has been selected, is due to the development of a grazing regime which allows species such as Dartford warbler and nightjar to flourish.

Yes, don’t forget this bank holiday Monday sees the Grand Donkey Day Out over at the Donkey Sanctuary in Wroxall.
A great day of fun for the family with live music and entertainment, followed by an evening of dancing, as the Pink Pussycat club travels down from Newport to indulge us with their funktastic tunes.
There’ll be a falconry display from John Owen and live woodcarving by Guido Oakley. Randini will be performing his magic/puppet show and let’s not forget the fantastic raffle with first prize of £750!
