Also, not sure what the leaves in the third to last pic are, but they ain't Beech. They're from an evergreen for sure.

Looks like snail trails in the last pic to me. I have a Copper Beech and an Oak, both mature in my garden and both have snail trails which I have traced to the shelled offender. I'm happy to let them go about their business...

We have several in our garden, see one most days. Used to see them even more before I quit the rollies. They're great little critters. If you find an injured one, or one out in the middle of the day (Which means it's ill) A lot of vets will treat them for free...

Here's my effort, from Cornwall a couple of years ago

To David, I'm thoroughly sickened by this trend and had to log in to comment. I also felt the need to share the quote by sean via Ian Sinclair on my facebook page. Most of my other 'Need to share' Things just lately have been Pat Condell posts. The idea of scum dogs destroying the germs of a fightback against DED horrifies me.I sit at my kitchen table on seats bodged of elm and beech, inherited from my grandmother, and I'm pushing 50. Also, say hello to Chris of Oakdene trees, I seldom see him but he is an all round top bloke...

Also, the Whistlestop Cafe, just down the road next to Woodbridge railway station does one of the best fry ups I've ever had, and trust me I've had a few!

Morocco proper like that felt to me like a mixture of Biblical times and Star Wars, properly mental place. The guys up in the Rif mountain villages who pop a baby sparrow onto your shirt where it clings on happily just want to sell you some local herbs!

Two threads in one... Firstly, did anyone see the guy get his jeans nicked with his mates 020 in moonshiners the other night? It was sooo close and also several shades of stupid... On another note, I came across this site and found it very interesting, mostly tree related, not finished looking through it yet. It came up on a google image search on occluded bark. Gabriel Hemery

Sloth, that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Totally made my day, ta!

I smoked from from around '81 worked my way through Marlboro, right through weed up to about 30-40 Drum rollies a day. I quit on 13/11/11 and have had two ore three revolting stinky drags since. Still miss it though, sometimes really badly. And I also don't know where the extra money went and couldn't afford to start again! Good luck with it. (Patches and gum here btw)

Totally un PC, and it was said in the early 70's but if ever I said "That's not fair" I recieved the reply "Nor's a black mans' bum" Whatever. It would've been his 73rd on thursday if this was a leap year
-
Almost as soon as I saw this I facebooked it with the caption "Anyone believe in fate" Because I'm at home with several small breaks in my foot from something much smaller than that tree...

I was walking with my daughter in Rendlesham forest, she was around five. As we approached an area that I knew Muntjac frequented I said to her, "Keep really quiet, if we're really quiet we might see a deer, you never know your luck" We were quiet and sure enough we had a good minute or so of watching a Muntjac go about his business. She turned to me and said very quietly- "I know my luck now Daddy" Still makes me well up to think about it...

I see that too. Still...

You guys might find this video interesting. My own experience with Bonsai has taught me that Beech don't respond well to my care, have had two lovely ones that just died overnight or so it seemed...

Have you ever seen anyone climb with just ONE rope???
woodpile replied to jnoon's topic in Climbers talk
I don't climb much these days, only on my own trees usually. My harness has no leg loops, my 14mm multiplait has a few nicks and a prussik on each end. I use a metal 020 av and a zubat, both strung from a 3 strand stop. I've never had a fall or what I would call an accident even now I'm 46 and heavier than I'd wish to be... You young pups... -
Found it now, it was me being dumb... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Hi Steve, I downloaded the app from google play yesterday. During installation my phone said insufficient storage, which wasn't the case by a long stretch. Moved a couple of other apps to SD card and all was well and the installation completed. Love the app. Curious as to how to quote posts via the app as I can't seem to find a way (I never had tapatalk for anything) Is this just me being dumb or is it not possible? (69p version on Android, HTC) Thanks for it anyway, and happy to help!

Well, there's not a "Like" Button on here...

Just facebooked that, I spat my cider out, never a good thing!

I have an 00 supercab and it's totally unsuitable for babes that age and all their seats/clutter...

Whats your moto, or go to quote?

Not one I necessarily agree with, but thought provoking nonetheless "No atheists in the trenches" -
Nice vid mate. Jake Bugg, only nineteen. From Nottingham. Some great tunes out there...

Shelby doesn't seem too bothered about boots full stop! His bits of the show are some of the best TV ever...

I before e, except after c. Not always but definitely in these cases, you surprise me! Lovely wine racks, I'd certainly give one house space! (Sorry Tony couldn't resist!)
