I was out lamping with a keeper about 6 months ago and shot 28 foxes in 1 field. All of them had either stiches, dressings, eyes,ears or limbs missing. 8 of them had (a well known animal charity) tags around their necks. They were sat in groups just looking around. Was a shame to shoot them all to begin with but when we saw all the problems with them we realised we did the best thing.

BCS Flails are good for dealing with brambles. How high are they? As you may need to flatten them before flailing.

Black Label Society. I like their music. This is one of the many tributes to one of the greatest guitarists of all time Darrel "Dimebag" Lance Abbott.

Had a local farmer do that to one of his oaks. He cut the butresses off as much as possible and then just ripped the roots out with a big swing bucket just so he could get the posts in the exact same spots. The tree is still standing but when we had the wind and rain you could hear it sucking clearly.

My cousin is driving around his local roads. So far he is upto 28 trees cleared up. Mostly little elms but just cleared a 2 ft diametre willow limb off a phone line. Got nothing subtantial down in blandford just loads of deadwood.

I went for a wander around a piece of woodland which adjoins the trailway. There is a footpath that passes the side of the wood but the locals have created desire line paths which criss-cross the wood. There are some fine trees in there. Pretty much every single large Beech has Kretz. There are some stunning natural pollards hidden in the depths.

In the last 24 hours we've had about 4 inches of rain fall. My local river hasn't burst its banks for nearly 4 years. It had come close but not to the level it was at today.

Found a couple on our travels today. A standard rotten crown snap and a very very wee hazard beam fracture.
