  1. Angle shades for comparison; they are similar aren't they and what camouflage.
  2. Another one for Lime Hawk.
  3. Nice to see someone managing to keep busy and be productive ?
  4. A neighbour in Caterham is doing a self-build extension and wants 60m² of larch cladding. He's flexible on the spec for the boards - his words were 'whatever's available really'. So is anyone on here in a position to maybe help? Thanks, Jon
  5. They're on my mate's farm at Wick skimming the ponds he's scraped out!
  6. Exactly that. I bought solid tyres for the Jo Beau but they don't have the needle axle bearings that the originals do. They made the machine at least 50% harder to push.

    Bug id?

    Other way round I think to be pedantic! Cardinal beetle has red everything unless it's a Black-headed cardinal beetle; and they look very like Lily beetles! So have you been squashing Cardinal beetles AJS?! ?
  8. ...speaking of which I was sent this from Wick, Caithness this morning. Flowering currant ?
  9. We started from scratch a month ago. Not only the substance side of testing needed to be set up but all the logistics to go with it; places to do it, deciding who got it first, telling those people where to go when, how they were to prove their identity... all to be made possible via software programmes that didn't exist. As I said we were late to the party but there is much work going into getting widespread testing up and running efficiently.
  10. It's coming... We're just late to the party.
  11. An alien world to me but excellent and fascinating pics David
  12. Helps the eardrums too! We're 20 mins from LGW and the silence is deafening as well as thoroughly welcome.
  13. Hi Josh. I like to make a fool of myself with these 'ID' threads so... I'll say that's a willow of some type, quite likely Goat Willow Salix caprea. The bark is right for me but especially salient is the orange colour of the cut wood. Poplars are closely related so it may also be one of those. But I may just be making a fool of myself ?
  14. The Fab Four's hair may have been slicked at times but that's a bit strong ?
  15. No.8; Small Copper That's me done ?
  16. I'm going for female Orange Tip too!
  17. What a stunner. Sadly I can't Like 5 times.
  18. According to one farmer on the TV last night yes, they do prefer the East Europeans because they leave their life baggage behind and just crack on with the work. As one who had to try and manage 11 staff I empathise.
  19. You're too modest; we've seen your 'quick shots' and they're professional standard. Keep 'em coming.
  20. Agree with above suggestion; it's a cracking (!) tree. Sorry about that.... very nice tree; cherish it.
  21. That's certainly no eyesore Mark.
  22. Ask a grass farmer for some old silage sheet? They're not allowed to burn or bury it I believe so would probs be glad to give you some.
  23. The biggest I've seen was on a finca in Andalucia. We were there for full fruit dropping; the dogs lapped up the berries - couldn't get enough of them. It was a handsome maiden tree with a dense, shade-giving crown as per Ty's comment.
  24. Always the same when backs are turned for whatever reason. Conscience and decency exist in very varying levels.
  25. But not around a certain garage block in Gadebridge it would seem. I hope the feared incident doesn't happen; if someone's keeping that much gear in a lockup they'll likely as not be a small operator standing to be put out of business by losing it. ?
