Looks like you've had some good jobs on this winter

[Will Hinchliffe]

I have been a bit quiet on the photo front this year. Glad you liked them. We always have a good quota of interesting work on.

 

I will look up longhorn beetles and check it out.

 

I managed to squeeze out of the window in the landy but it wasnt easy. Anything to reduce the drag.

 

Handbag is Mats.

 

I was really pleased with the reduction its probably one of the best I have done in a day.

 

Is the decay in the Beech butt the Meripilus ?

After looking at some images on google I reckon Rhagium mordax is the most likely candidate.

 

Rhagium mordax - a longhorn beetle - Natural England

 

I hope it goes on to lay some eggs in the decaying sapwood of the 4 foot stump we left.
