  1. Creating more habitat for them and protecting the habitat they already have is probably the best remedy. I'm cautiously optimistic with all the talk on natural capital, biodiversity net gain and the new ELMS scheme slowly morphing into mandated action.
  2. Agreed. The first lockdown was a magic time for reconnecting with the local wildlife.
  3. They're a red list species now so great that you have them. (Mistle thrush)
  4. That's a bit of a puzzler! Maybe a Mistle Thrush?
  5. Their 1972 album 'Stonehenge, Sage and Sodomy' is a real belter.
  6. The Arbtalk Family: World class at disagreements, flippin' hopeless at tree ID. 😃
  7. Bark is a bit iffy, but it looked like there were some radial lines in the end grain of the top picture?
  8. It's not really my area of expertise Stubby. Hope things work out well for you Johny.
  9. Pearl Jam, The Wallflowers, One direction.
  10. Hi Andy, I currently charge £65 plus VAT for a cubic mtr collected.
  11. A wee bit of heavy petting, nothing serious.
  12. I was just driving to church and thought for a second I saw Bolam drinking a non alcoholic beverage. No idea who took the picture.
  13. Ha! Love it! You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails.
  14. No wife or ice cream in my life these days but everything is peachy none the less. How is your son doing now?
  15. Mortimer!!! Long time no type. How are you getting on?
  16. Merry Christmas everyone. VID-20201221-WA0000.mp4
  17. OK I'll let you off, dogwood can be a bitch.
  18. Certainly, as soon as you stop bulldozing puppies!
  19. Statement from Inspector Rosehip, Norfolk Constabulary: "The investigation into this hedge theft has been sloe going, but we are pleased to report that the old bill-hooked the perpetrators out of their foxhole and they have been handed a one way thicket to Wormwood shrubs."
  20. Police admit that it's a thorny issue, but are assuring the public that they always put a top to it- without flail.
  21. Nigel would choke on his Chewits if he saw what we were getting up to in our Wood. We meet quite a few similar tweedy types who really don't have a clue, but feel compelled to explain to us where we are going wrong. I see it as our job to explain what we are doing, and why. Some are humble enough to let us make our case, others just have a firm idea in their heads about what a woodland should look like and are not for budging. In this particular case it seems that either the Woodland Trust did a bad job of educating him, or he has chosen to cherry pick their explanation and ride his latest lame hobby horse into the sunset. All that being said.... what a total arse crumpet.
