Creating and maintaining deadwood habitat

[David Humphries]

Have fumbled about creating nooks and crannies for a while.

Rustics the name of the game, no points sought for style.

 

What has anyone else tried.

 

Here's a windblown pop hung up in a vet Oak.

Released and high stumped back in April 07.

 

Last shots are from this week.

Some signs of old nesting.

Nice, was that to create a particular niche??

Here's a Beech which copped it and was reduced to Monolith back in Dec 04.

Last shot is from Oct 08.

 

Hadn't tried the BPS at this stage Stevie

Have done, but only leave up for a few months.

 

Usually extolling the virtues of standing dead timber, and its place in the cycle of fungal, lichen, invertebrate and bird interaction.
