About 7- 8 years I go I used to help carry out inspections with a bat specialist within there habitat and also in the bat boxes we installed. It was a great feeling when you open up the boxes and they had bats in!!! Well done, its good fun, interesting and all well worth it!

Presuming no one posts her any more but, Nice one Joe!
I used to work over Rugby all the time (8 years ago ish, for a contractor you know). It is one of the worst places in the country ive seen, nearly every pruned tree either crown pollarded or pollarded (not by me ). When you leave Daventry and enter the Dunchurch/Rugby area you realise how the landscape changes with most homes owning hedges, trees and the landscape is dominated by mature trees. Keep up the good work! oddly Im over there this week so hope things have changed rather than the usual sticks in the air! For the size of the place the tree work over there is appalling. Least there's the good ones out there like you showing them how it should be done,

Thanks for the helpful replies!
Ill advise the client of the identification and helpful input.
By the size of the bracket/ and there is 2 straight lines on the top (looks like somebody has previously been removing the suckers with a silky) how long has it been there?
I think the previous occupants of the property knew it was there as it had been pollarded a few years ago!

This happened a few years ago and it was definitely a oopsie!
May I say I was not operating the machine and no they didn't have the tracks out whilst moving the machine to the next work site hit a rock and a hole at the same time and that was the result.
Engine was switched off straight away but it was still running on the engine oil, ended up bending a few valves, but had to pay for a full engine rebuild!
(insurance would not pay as I had not notified them the machine was on hire)

Well due to the decay in the base when we took it down we counted 99 rings (give or take) been dead 2 years
Friend sent that photo a few weeks ago with a date of 1913 from some photo archive
Ive took them down at 25-30 years old (PAIN).....my point we only counted 99 ....must have been very dry and my point was I was just showing a old picture of a tree round her every one remembered and a old picture I had when I was younger!!!!

pictures 10 years old when i took it down and in addition who says the the 1913 pictures correct.
tree had (give or take) 99 growth rings
i was only showing the history of the tree!
