Just two little tasters. Words cannot put into reason the trip as a whole

Got it in one... two!

Nope:lol: (sorry) Think easier:thumbup:

Cheers guys. I do try to get on, but with the job and the kids getting older into more activities and clubs, I end up playing taxi. By the time I get in at night I'm goosed haha. One thing the new job had helped with though is the collation of pictures. I don't want to release half a job, but I'm a perfectionist I'm afraid. I'll get there, and when I do, I'll need testers I'll try to get on more often too

Website is there in the background, but it's taking a lot longer than I anticipated. I will release it eventually though

Hi Julian, I recently undertook an exam ran by the BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland in case some of you didn't know) and gained a level 3 qualification allowing me to do partial Phase 1 habitat Surveys. I'm sure there may be other routes too, but this one is worth looking at (and possibly right up your street!) BSBI Bats however, is a whole different board game. Our Ecologists have to do years of training events, CPD's, surveys under supervision and hours and hours of on site time before they can even begin to think about becoming a bat surveyor. Worth looking into though if you have the time and energy

Not bud scar. Leaf scar. Its the place on the twig where last year's leaf was before it fell off. The scar is what is left when it does fall off. The bundle scars are the little dimple type things on the leaf scar. Close up of that would be a real help Sent from my GT-N7105 using Arbtalk mobile app

I don't thin kit is Frisia due to the lack of thorns. Think more along the lines of Fraxinus pennyslyvanica, or Phellodendran sp., or Juglans cinerea, or Rhus sp, or... I'm working on it

Hah, I can picture it now:thumbup: Sent from my GT-N7105 using Arbtalk mobile app

I like the way you're tied into the piece you're cutting too! Here's my caveat! JOKE! for all those lacking a sense of humour:lol:
