Brush in forks for nesting

[treeseer]

As we remove habitat when we prune; it seems fair to leave some behind. Packed in forks and loosely lashed, some bird may take advantage.

 

Is this done in the UK? Is it BS-compliant?

And you left them a pair of gloves good thinking as pine is sticky:laugh1:

Good man, here in the UK we are so wrapped up with H&S I cant see anyone risking it

If we come across any small hollow logs we will always try to put them in a hedge or tree if we can.

That's really cool, I take it birds wil go to it?

Great idea with the hollow logs aswell BM:thumbup1:

Been doing that for years just kicking myself now that I didnt have the brains to mention it so others could do the same.

 

Good post

good point paul; i do have a lot to pay back for all the habitat removed to date. re your avatar, reminds me of a fun nite--hope you can cross the pond someday!

 

o and re the gloves, i took em back. lots of dryer lint and whatnot for them to add the top layer tho.

 

re HSE, here our ANSI standard forbids brush left in trees, but we're trying to get an exception into the next revision.
