Richmond Park ( a diary of sorts)

[sean]

Nice shots sean.

 

Beech is nuts.

 

Has it been reduced, or going to be?

 

 

You got some scratches on the lens?

 

Few blurs in a couple of the pictures, or is it just glare?

 

 

.

 

Left to its own devices this one now.

 

Yes scratches on lens......to say i'm peeved off would be an understatement.......may have to trade in my 9x6 film camera to buy something new:thumbdown:

Glad you're keeping the diary going sean

 

The office should get hold of the visuals (if they haven't already)

and add then to their website.

Outrageous assumption!

 

May this be a lesson to you to never be so neglectfull of a fungal entity!

 

have we taught you NOTHING!

 

We wanna see them ALL

Couple of jobs from the last couple of days.......

 

1-5......dead oak by the roadside. Monolithed with deadwood stacked.....plenty of decay going on.

 

6-8......15% reduction with mewp to alleviate some weight from this oak over the horse ride. Doesnt sound alot but was surprising how much came off. Earmarked as a future vet this one.

 

9-10.....small job from today.....just taking the end weight from this decayed limb over the path. If it fails now it will miss target and like to leave as much on as poss.

 

 

11-13.....biggish vet that finally succumbed to the ravages of time and decay. This will stay exactly where it is.

 

a few randoms including the remnants of a film set from this week.

Fantastic diary, what a brilliant place to work!!

 

Please enlighten me. How many OPM nests where removed in Richmond Park this year? Was it more than last year? Do you use a kill everything insecticide like Kew (not against it, just makes me realise how serious this is) ?
