  1. Its Council ground, old waste tip 3/4 mile long by 30m wide. Natural regen trees up to 40ft, rough grass areas and gorse.
  2. Thanks to you both, that clarifies things somewhat. Basically, check for nests if none rock on, checking all time for nests as you work through the site.
  3. Not many mines either, that are still working, I hasten to add.
  4. Question for the masses? I am looking at a job next week for SGN in Scotland. Basically Transport Scotland are replacing a main roundabout with a flyover and roundabout, problem is the gas main runs alongside (about 8m away) the existing road, before work on the road commences the gas main needs to be moved. The main is to be moved parallel to existing main into an area of scrub and trees. I have been look at the job of clearing areas to enable boreholes and test pits to be dug. As this is infrastructure works is it exempt from felling licence or not?, there will probably be more than 5 cube of timber, and a lot more if they clear the entire working area 30m centered over the pipeline. They want it done before bird nesting, which is not going to happen so it will have to wait until August
  5. And have a hot water feed, everything else is cold only, which grates when you have shed loads of hot water from the rayburn.
  6. Got some Poplars to look at near Fordyce to fell, if they are still standing after today.
  7. Not good to hear, We lost a big old Ash last blow, milled into some nice olive ash boards.
  8. Tacho driven by cable, so easy to check if driving up to tacho or not. Process of elimination.
