Did you see Springwatch last night?

 

Did I see it correctly that a climber went in to a tree to investigate a Red Kite nest using spikes? Is that normal behaviour for a climber in to the crown of a retained tree?

 

I was under the impression that spiking to climb a healthy tree was not good practice? Introducing the potential for pathogens and other such nasty's as you break the bark exposing live wood!

 

I am not an arborist but an arboriculturalist so I merely pose the question.......:thumbup1:

The bird ringers climb with spikes all the time, and none have training, so they don't know, and more importantly, most don't care

I saw that on Springwatch and I thought "that's going to be on AT tomorrow"

 

Can you pick me my lotto numbers ? :001_smile:

I'm sure it was mentioned on the previous year's spiking too, and the year before that too
