Anyone able to id this for me? I have lots in my garden this year, and wondered what it is...
-
Hornbeam for sure. Actually, looks like the obvious to me...
-
I love how just gets up and strolls in the pub, what a legend. I wonder what was said inside?
-
Give it time, it'll be fine...
-
Cheers eggs(!) I'll give them a try...

Bit of a random one. Does anyone (the closer to Colchester the better) know anyone who keeps male and female Indian runner ducks together? I'm after two or three fertile eggs ASAP. My two broody females were sharing a nest just a week or two from hatching, and I came home today to find the eggs smashed open and eaten on my patio, suspected magpie dinner... Bit of a long shot but if you can help that'd be great...

Hare today, gone tomorrow ( hopefully) 😜

Loving the sun knot... -
Can I change my mind to apple? And is there no fruit on the tree? The leaves in the op seem to have a small point on the tip, pear tends not to have that. Also it's hard to make out, but I think I can see a slight feltyness on the undersides, which may suggest apple too...

What's the weather like? How very English of us. Had hail stones the size of peas for a little while around lunch time, they melted pretty damn quickly though!

No problems, don't mean to teach you how to suck eggs!
-
Beep, beep, beep, beep, ghosts!

Nope not planning app. With a CA you give notification of the works you intend to carry out to the trees, a section 211 notice, if the LA have any objections their only option is to place a TPO on the trees in question. If the LA don't reply, or do give consent, within 6 weeks then you can carry out the works...
-
Yes I'd say so...
-
OK, I deserve it...
-
I'd have said dark green... Sorry!

Stunning moths there, every bit as beautiful as a butterfly. I saw (found by daughter again!) what I think was a female gypsy moth in Colchester Castle Park last week. Unfortunately it had been squashed, while full of eggs...
-
Yep, my eldest has a 'dead collection' of insects too. No squeemishness allowed in this house!
-
For what it's worth my first thought on seeing the leaf was pear. Pic of the rest of the tree would be nice, or the fruit!

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version

Hmm, I may have to try and tie in a visit to Groton next year then! -

Nice job stumpy, never been to Groton Wood, and only recently discovered Arger Fen - SWT certainly do have some nice sites though... -

That's a cracker Steve. Wasn't in Arger Fen was it? There's some bigguns in there... -
It's like the punchline to a joke...

Haven't seen a slow worm for years, or a grass snake come to think of it...

Heh heh, different daughter! Miss Holmes in my avatar is the youngest, and just picks every flower in the garden as soon as it opens - grrrr...

Excellent. I had a small male land under a chair by me in the old folks home when I was visiting on Sunday, that fairly freaked them out. What surprised me was in a room of ten 'with it' visitors/staff, plus the residents in various states of dementia, no one knew what it was! Brightened up the old folks day a little though wandering around and talking about it, I can't imagine being in their position...
