Well, up at mums. So not far. Marvelous tree stocks, quite randomly planted but Bird of Prey center was fab. Enthusiastic young girls with amazing range of hawks and owls. K

I was lucky enough to work there lots of times with @Gray git and it was us who did the work on the Catherine Parr oak. She was a big old girl before we fired the saws up! She has taken really well to the work too. Me and the family have a season pass for there, amazing place to potter about.

Here is a snap from the day we were there. Not in leaf but you get the idea.

20m mewp at full stick had no chance of reaching the top of that big old girl!
Scheduled for another hit at retrenchment next year now that we have successfully forced a reaction of more international leaf formation.

Definately responded well , plenty of leaf area and from my view little deadwood . K
