    Birds/Nests

    Not seen any nests in the garden and no birds in the nest boxes but over the fence is over grown and they must be in there . On the feeders I get lots of Gold finches , Chaffinches , occasional bull finch and one or two Greenfinches . Loads of Sparrows , Starlings , .Rooks Magpies and some times a Jay . Over the fields the Buzzards and Kites are like confetti !
  6. Go for it . I still think the time involved could be spent earning some coin to pay the local log merchant . ?
  7. Not worth the effort I found . Had a little press made from a bottle jack . Had to soak the saw dust and paper and tea bags and whatever else to make a pulp . Press them into bricks , all fine if you discount your time , then you godda dry them . I was putting them on my extension flat roof on sunny days . Even put some in the airing cupboard . They burned fine but the reward was not worth the effort .
  8. Mark Odin of M J O forestry says he gets a full tank of hot water from a bag of saw dust on his stove .
  9. Sorry about your fingers eggs mate .
  10. All the above about getting a subbie climber to start with but....If you can't do that what you MUST do is get a good ( experienced ) groundie to look after you .
  11. Yea . Its just a bottle jack with plates and springs .
  12. I think they can be ginger if they choose ?......but then who would ?
  13. They go at night helped by the dew .
  14. Don't you need a license to do this ?
  15. Try a bottle jack with a metal plate top and bottom . works a treat . Bit more cutting to position it though .
