I withdraw! Privet it is!
-
Sure; the plant may well be privet but the presence of the flying adult moth on it doesn't make it so!
-
I wouldn't have had that down as privet! Escallonia perhaps? ?
-
Doesn't the indent in the edge of the bracket suggest it pushed its way round the hazel stem? The hazel spearing the bracket from below wouldn't cause it.

Norway Maple of some variety I'd say. Environmental conditions will dictate final size but it's not done yet! It looks like it's been reduced in the past at 12-14'...?
-
That's special and you've captured the purple sheen fantastically. I believe rotting meat is also irresistible to them ?
-
That's a great haul. I'll bid Brimstone Moth, Large and Small Elephant Hawks and a Buff Tip in there. Pic 4 may well be a Carpet. Am I close?!
-
The Puss Moth we have and the one with the hairy caterpillars in the US are different species. That said the UK one can squirt formic acid but that's nothing it seems to the effect of the US one's hairs.

I think you answered your own question in your first post: hot... dry... assuming you're in the south of the country that is. I believe it's been somewhat less dry oop north.

I grew Phacelia once as a green manure and remember how it just hummed with pollinating insects; they really go for it.
-
That's one heck of a lot of wedge Rob when a decent one can be bought for £60 or so. I get your point re spending on quality but all things in moderation and all that! Jon

Looks like Griselinia (littoralis), usually grown as hedging. Nice bark.
-
If any substantial lumps are coming off the tree it would appear they make beautiful turned pieces

He'll be fine as long as he has plenty of Pornography ?

You'd drown in a rainstorm but could take your goldfish to work with you ?
-
Give us a clue then...
-
Pass. What does it look like? I guess I'll know I missed it when the bar and chain cook!
-
Will you keep your awkward questions to yourself please?! Having obviously impressed with the pristine state of my 262 I whipped the clutch off the MS241. Ahem... half an eggcup of bitumen!
-
And you're why I bought mine. Well - that and the fact that I ran the tipping battery down; doh. Thanks.

I got Solar Battery Charger | Part No. 77108 | Part of the Battery Chargers range from Gunson WWW.GUNSON.CO.UK Gunson 77108 Solar Battery Charger part of the Battery Chargers range of tools. a couple of weeks ago. It's been out in the weather for the last week and the little green light - =charging - was still glowing this morning.

First time I've dipped into this thread in months and am I glad I did ? She can't 'arf play; wow.
-
A bit of a long shot but have you been cutting any Cotoneaster? It's probably the pic but I'm seeing the slightest hint of pink in the last shot.
-
My thought too though I hadn't heard the name Chilean Beech; Southern Beech is what I know - Nothofagus anyway.
-
My 262 - 10 seconds with an old washing up brush. The only hard bit was at the top left corner where you can see I chipped it off (very easily).
