Forever. You're on the edge of the North Downs there (I lived in Caterham until a few months ago). Until ~30 years ago there were settlement ponds (I think) on the site of Tescos at Purley Cross dug from the bedrock. Pure chalk.

Bats... lovely little things but causing mayhem here! I asked on here for a survey a while ago: little did I know what was actually involved. Two surveys down, another one booked for the winter I think (to determine if the active roost in the house cladding is also a hibernation roost) and one for May/June next year to see if it's a maternity roost! We've withdrawn our planning application as a result as we wouldn't be able to do anything until at least next August and there's other stuff we want to get on with. The recent pre and post dusk survey identified activity of five species in the vicinity. The 7 individuals seen roosting during the day in the cladding were Soprano Pipistrelles

Good idea to include which part of the country you're in 😊
-
Yes, what the heck did they do? Must have been as big as dropping it off a truck or similar; I've dropped mine off ramps more than once with no ill effects. Or they drove the truck over it...

I don't know whether to say that's just old school or whether you should be locked up in an old school 🤔

Aspen available in 25L drums - both 2 and 4-stroke

Aspen for years here in Stihl, Husky, Echo, Honda and Subaru. Never a problem

I could be tempted but can't help in the time frame I'm afraid. Sorry!

Hello Jo. How you doing? Have you asked Ed Willment (Treespanner)? Jon

That must be it. Stacked on a disused runway I think
-
The largest I've been aware of was put up on here a few years ago; it's in Norway and it's ridiculous
-
...stopped the car to let a half grown one cross the lane near home late one night a few weeks ago. First one I'd seen in years too. I'm told they're doing well in and around towns; can't say whether that's true or not.

...go straight to Conclusions and Summary and you're there; 5 minutes reading It includes 5 species of common houseplant (in the US) particularly good at pollutant absorption

But put on the backburner which we hope means properly ditched 🤞

The speed that ball was travelling... fantastic performance. And just 18 years old.

You haven't moved house in many years then! I had a paper licence until 6 months ago but moved house so now have a credit card with an ugly mug on it retrieved from a passport photo database of several years ago (with my consent - they do ask if it's ok!)

Jesus, that's a Saturn 6!

I don't know how this forum would cope without you 😂
-
The man to ask is @se7enthdevil Steve Earis. But he doesn't come on here much any more - more's the pity. Try those details in Arsebook, his main stomping ground I believe
-
No idea; just something I seem to know! Although rosewood is listed as being ok for pipemaking it seems that Briar is best but Briar in that context doesn't come from any rose but from Erica arborea - tree heather! How to Make a Smoking Pipe THEPIPEGUYS.COM

That would be s result; we'd be forced into something more sensible like wind power or nuclear to be controversial. Once we've got nuclear fusion sorted there'll be no energy supply problems!

@ABtrees I'll take a stab in the dark at Bonelli's Eagle. We saw three of Spain's five eagles on a Naturetrek trip in Andalucia years ago but I don't remember the differences. Spot of the day was a Bonelli's over a small town carrying a still writhing snake
