  1. If anyone is interested, below is a breeding Bird survey from the woodland I manage. We have progressed from a dark sterile wood to a thriving bird habitat in just a few years, including 5 red listed species. "Build it and they will come" Raydon Great Wood Breeding Bird Survey 2020 - FINAL2 05.10.2020.pdf
  2. 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.
  3. Agreed. The first lockdown was a magic time for reconnecting with the local wildlife.
  4. They're a red list species now so great that you have them. (Mistle thrush)
  5. That's a bit of a puzzler! Maybe a Mistle Thrush?
  6. Their 1972 album 'Stonehenge, Sage and Sodomy' is a real belter.
  7. The Arbtalk Family: World class at disagreements, flippin' hopeless at tree ID. 😃
  8. Bark is a bit iffy, but it looked like there were some radial lines in the end grain of the top picture?
  9. Looks like Oak to me.
  10. It's not really my area of expertise Stubby. Hope things work out well for you Johny.
  11. Pearl Jam, The Wallflowers, One direction.
  12. Some more Bill Bailey fun.
  13. Hi Andy, I currently charge £65 plus VAT for a cubic mtr collected.
  14. A wee bit of heavy petting, nothing serious.
  15. 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.
  16. Ha! Love it! You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails.
  17. No wife or ice cream in my life these days but everything is peachy none the less. How is your son doing now?
  18. Mortimer!!! Long time no type. How are you getting on?
  19. Merry Christmas everyone. VID-20201221-WA0000.mp4
  20. OK I'll let you off, dogwood can be a bitch.
  21. Certainly, as soon as you stop bulldozing puppies!
  22. Ha! No more than usual Stubby.😀
  23. 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."
  24. Police admit that it's a thorny issue, but are assuring the public that they always put a top to it- without flail.
  25. I expect the thieves are laying low.
