Because it looks like one 🙂 The bark and leaves shape /grown habit. Jizz (birding) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Its the same for trees can also tell/guess most times at a distance speciees ID sometimes just from tree outlines growth habit location colour of foilage or bark in winter etc.

The wind farms are all along the east coast moray east, moray west, sea green etc etc a licence to print money. Sadly the politicians in particular the green idiots in Scotland have given this environmental disaster the green light up here.

We have just started a log splitting service in the Gloucestershire area. With a couple of tree surgeons already using us to make logs out of waste we thought that we would offer the service out. Any questions please feel free to message me. Thank you

I dont annoyingly … theres a very good chance that im getting confused and this tree is indeed the same as the other goat Willows that I've identified .. I will need to go and have a look at some point … have you got any clear indicator that you saw and was like .. “yep … goat willow”

The new Ranger is really quite good! V6 power, loads of driver aids which are taking some getting used to. Passed 2k miles in two weeks and it gets better mpg than the 3.2! Seems higher and wider than the old one and so quiet too! The dash is quite trick with it telling you the speed limit in a commercial vehicle standard and not the car speed in sat nav! Will report more as time goes by but so far, I'm impressed!

It won't be 200 or 860 acres, as 1 square mile is 640acres

To me it seems mad to build all these pylons, powerlines, and substations to take "green" energy down to the big cities, when the homes they tower over and bypass are still heated with oil, coal, sometimes peat, and the vehicles and machinery are mainly fossil fuelled too. Why not incentivise the use of renewable energy close to the source

For one of the other substation sites the area quoted is 860 acres Couple fear for 'Outlander' estate home as power plan sparks demolition concern WWW.HERALDSCOTLAND.COM The views from Annette George’s Highlands cottage are of an unspoiled, peaceful rural idyll, spanning lands held by one of Scotland’s ancient…

Unfortunately - not a situation I would like either. Not a project I know much about but every day is a learning day, is the 200 acres all substation structures or is that the total footprint of the site with landscaping and so on do you know?

But can you blame SSE? Their project management leaves something to be desired certainly 🤭 but the project to bring wind-generated leccy to Scotland from the Shetlands isn't their baby; they were told to do it by Ofgem and given a 7-figure budget for it

Some do have catkins not paided much attention to them , maybes this ones having a yr off? Wonder if the other tree you ID'd was really a willow got a picture? Many other trees also have catkins.

The scale of what’s going on up here is probably far greater than people realise. SSE are playing a very clever, cynical corporate game. Zero f…s given about the locals.

Easy bud it’s a coffee not a date night 😳

Thanks for the super fast reply ! Doesn’t goat willow have catkins this time of year ? I only ask because ive been identifying another type of tree as goat willow over the past month, it has catkins with feathery hairs and black tips i dont mean to insult by the way, just trying to learn

Or passing 100m from my house, the new Beauly- Peterhead line is, 200 acre substaion 2 miles away and then the battery storage added on top of all that, hopeless all for the greater good.

Fair enough. I think that Neil Oliver is a bit of shitehawk who has been fledged from the same nest that Brand has found himself "cuckood" into, but there you go. Let me know when you're about, if time allows I will get you a coffee, so long as you get me 10 pints with your filthy oil dollar. Do you play pool?

goat willow

Hey guys another tree here I cant identify, its a tremendous tree and deeply fissured, kinda grows all contorted.type of hazel or poplar, im just saying poplar as the leafs flutter. The bark also exposes a deep redish brown when flaked off any ideas ?

I’ve never seen it bud To tell the truth Mark I’m not a big Brand fan .( prefer Neil Oliver) but did wonder where all the hype had gone when 42 brought him up, Christ they went on like he was the next Jimmy Saville for a while. Apart from LI and arbtalk I don’t really give social media much of my time, there’s enough shite between that two to be getting on with. Anyway I’m down in Lynemouth in a week or so, you can buy me a coffee in true socialist worker fashion. Or bill it to the company as I would.

Silvestria along the North Wales expressway can do straight blades and round blades too.

Ah, Dumper, met him once, did up an 026 with sentimental value from what I can remember...decent fella.

How would you describe it?

No real reason, lad took a pic today, thought I’d share.

To be fair if you say "Arb chip wanted" with an antipodean twang, it is mistakable for Arb chap wanted!
