They're ok as a group. The eldest one just does his own thing which has its ups n downs. The other two act as a team.

Taken 18/6/11 Last few shots are of some heavy mycelium matting coming off a stump and entering the leafy humus.

First night was very noisy. I think he wanted to be in the company of the other dogs or a human. going to buy a cage from the local army camp where we got the pup from nd put him in with the other boys and see what happens there

Sounds like the clutch has gone. If it runs fine then its obviousily a relatively easy job to fix. I've replaced the clutch in our HS75 before and its no more difficult than replacing a chainsaw clutch.

I think is has settled in now.

Should have done but had pick of the litter and they were all liver and white.

Here is a pic of Floyd my new Springer. He is eight weeks and is a bit of a bruiser. He was nervous around my other 3 but has got used to them.

Spoke to the boss. We have decided to go for the semi-submerged board approach. We will be installing it tomorrow and check it every two weeks for vandalism and to clear the build up in front of the board. The boss likes the idea of Grass Carp as they are purely vegetarians.

Any ideas what this is Gerrit? Found growing on freshly mown grass. Very woody humus rich soil.

I heard on BBC Radio 2 a bloke suggesting we should ban all firearms. Ban shooting sports, ban archery. Basically trying to get the government to ban any sport that might use a weapon. The only sports left in the olympics would be cycling, hurdles, running, swimming and court sports. would be a very boring olympics.

Taken 16/6/11. Dryad's Saddle on Sycamore stump. Small white fungi found growing amongst cut grass. Ground is quite thick with woody humus.

Hows this for some of my local HC's. One of them is completely hollow. The other is just about hanging on.

One of my colleagues had just told me that the FS460 gear head doesnt have a grease point. Is this true?

Thats the idea behind the piece of wood. At the moment its just a well placed log but will perfect it tomorrow with a 2 inch thick piece of wood held inplace by two stakes which can be removed in the winter when the flow increases.

We have a pond in Shaftesbury that was dredged last winter. It had vast quantities of floating grass which was removed. We now have a carpet of duckweed covering the pond. We had a member of the public mention to us that the pond was almost overflowing because the outflow was blocked by it. I cleared the outflow but within 30 minutes it was blocked again. We have made a temporary fix with a piece of wood an inch into the water to allow water to flow but stop the duckweed. We cant use chemicals because of newts and frogs in there. I have read about netting it out and raking it out. We did have some ducks on the pond for about 2 weeks before children scared them off. What would you guys suggest?

This little plant is called Red Bartsia(Odontites verna) is found in abundance on Milldown and Preetz Way. It is semi-parasitic on grasses. There is a very rare bee called Melitta tricincta. It feeds souly on Red Bartsia and nothing else.

I believe he is. -
Taken 15/6/11. Looks like an old split that has healed up. Is it a ticking time bomb? And the stain on the cut appeared a few weeks after the limb was cut off. Maybe a fungi trying to get in?
-
Very, very healthy beech. Maybe a bit too much leaf?

Here are some pics of its neighbour. The bank has only been there for the last few years but kept it low past the tree as not to affect the butresses on the car park side. It has a bit of die back in the top and in between a couple of butresses it looks like the bark is going underneath the tree.

Polyporus squamosus (Dryad's Saddle) is an intense white rotter. I have felled a large Ash with it. The tree was a twin stem with a big (35" DHB) leaning heavily toward a busy footpath. The original plan was to just remove the leaning limb but as i was rotten in the middle we decided to drop the rest of the tree. The TO had also given us the go ahead as we hit the butresses and it wasnt the nice high pitched noise we wanted. I have attached pictures of the stump from last year. It panic fruited like mad as i had removed over 70% of its food source. As the tree went over it split the stump (left enough holding wood for a hinge after boring in both sides to find base was mush).
