My mate was gutted, he has a nice SLR and just getting into photography, we had sun beams through misty woodland tracks, sun sets over valleys of fog etc and all he had was his iphone lol.

Had to survey an old hedgerow today which contained some very nice old pollards, each had a dbh over 1m and no evdence of fungal infection. A housing estate looks over the fields and you can see where the local scumbags have been burning in some of the hollow ones, I suspect they may well die from vandalisium before anything else.

Had to suffer a lads weekend away in Riga (Latvia). It was horrid, all those lapdancers and cheap beer! I did however stumble accross this ? Oak. Huge leaves. Can anyone identify it?

 

I'm pretty sure that's a Quercus petraea (Sessile Oak). The leaves are normally bigger than a common Oak and have a fairly long petiole, the acorns are stalkless (sessile).

Horrible, dead syc dismantle from today. I was quite happy when sitting on top that i hadn't come to any harm! :biggrin:

and a LA spec extended limb reductions on an oak. Not terribly exciting pictures, sorry.

Those Oak limbs will Bart Simpson up quite nicely!

 

That Syc sure was shot. Fair play. I bet your saw felt sharp!

 

It did go through like butter at points! Bit of a brown pants moment when a big limb, slightly leaning, didn't have any good holding wood and it went suddenly after i put an inch back cut in - the hinge was about 80% of the section!

 

Don't think breckland council are ready for bart :biggrin:
