Ball of fluff puts a halt to proceedings.

Heres some pics of a recent job we "tried to do".

Spec was to dismantle ash tree leaving 3mtr monolith for habitat. Barb wire stock fencing was removed and temporary electric fence put up to stop the cows being nosey, tractor and trailer turned up, tractor with PTO chipper turned up, ropes where installed, first section was crashed out in 3 big lumps then I noticed something which somewhat spoiled our plans. Lucky for the little fella that I noticed him as that section was the next target for the chop.

No sign of mum or dad, once we spotted Barney, we didn't want to hang around too much longer.

 

My question is: in the current financial climate, how many companies wouldve put everything on hold for something like this?

 

I know legally no-one is gonna say anything other than what's right and I know there isn't really an answer to the question but it is worth a thought. I think.

You should take him home and train him. Get him to put your ropes up when he's older. Save you a fortune in throwlines and bags.

 

Frank and his little Owl has a nice ring to it.

Know what you're saying Frank, but it was a great call.

 

Maybe let the local press know. If they ran a small story it would portray arbs in a good light, and generate a bit of free publicity to offset the lost hours.

 

You will also go to tree heaven mate.

I'm going to go out and find a wild animal that I can have as a pet. None of this silly "Secret Arbtalk code", if you see someone walking round with an owl on their shoulder or a badger on a lead, You know they're on Arbtalk.
