Do you know if they do DNA identification? I have a query for an assignment.

Legal Definition of a 'Nesting Bird'
Gary Prentice replied to Gary Prentice's topic in Trees and the Law
Strange. I'm sure there's exceptions within bat legislation for similar scenarios -
Thanks Paul, I've never needed to get any identified so even a ball park figure is sufficient for now.
-
So what's your ident?

Would Hyde Park be big enough?

Never mind, when Cornwall fills its vacancy for someone to spearhead achieving the title of 'European Capital of Culture in 2020 (or 2022?), there will be all these events in Truro:thumbup1: I think the job comes with a remuneration @£50K as well. Bargain:biggrin:

DON'T! That would only answer the question regarding the support provided now, go back 70-100 years and remove it - too see how the tree reacts and what it would be like today. Who knows, removal 70 years ago may have led to a failure that killed a VIP and you'll come back to a very different industry in 2017:biggrin: This space time continuum (sp?) is just hurting my brain - back to work myself.

Do you know if these workshops are a repeat of last years seminars, or something new again? I've seen them advertised and assumed that 'due to popular demand' they were the same. The seminar/workshop at Myerscough was very interesting and raised food for thought.

70 years? I thought you were younger than that:biggrin: I've read hundreds of research articles over the last few years and it's apparent that the results of most are very limited, because of the longevity of trees. In your pictures David, we will just never know what the tree would be like today should someone have pruned that limb off. We can make lots of educated 'guesses', but truth to be told, we will simply never know.

But, it's often the case that it limits movement to a below critical extent. I suppose that, as is usually the case, every situation has to be considered on its own merits. Some of pictures of natural braces that I've seen at various presentations/seminars and publications are, IMO, unlikely to survive for trees lifespan. This then becomes another consideration in their retention or removal.

Morning all, Can anyone give me a guide price for a root examination/identification (Not DNA). I may need to positively identify the genus of any roots from a trial pit shortly. Thanks in anticipation.

Nature continues to disobey man-made rules! -
Legal Definition of a 'Nesting Bird'

Just to update. Spoke to a very helpful lady at the RSPB Wildlife Team on friday. She was able to tell me the incubation period and the number of days that the young will to to fledge. She also said that, if the nest contains any eggs after this (Presumably one that failed to hatch/infertile) the nest is still classed as active until the end of August. The wildlife team are worth a call, if anyone has any queries regarding issues with nesting birds. -
Q2. You need consent of the planning authority. . If the other tree has lost most of its aesthetic value, apply to fell it, if you want to.

I feel that my life is so my more fulfilled for reading this

I'd looked for this judgement a few weeks ago. Makes some interesting reading.
-
Haven't got it to hand, but are you thinking of the tree that fell on a rail line, after which the rail company took the owner and arborist to court?
-
Why the concern? Plenty of pore space in that mulch for moisture and oxygen:sneaky2:

Legal Definition of a 'Nesting Bird'
Gary Prentice replied to Gary Prentice's topic in Trees and the Law
Correct. :thumbup1: If the law was simple, we wouldn't need lawyers:confused1: Hardly minor, on my part, the building bit I now accept that if there is a finger of blame to be pointed, it will be at me (ALWAYS!) and if my better half thinks it's important - it's very important. I live a much simpler and happier life having accepted these simple facts:biggrin: -
Legal Definition of a 'Nesting Bird'
Gary Prentice replied to Gary Prentice's topic in Trees and the Law
Thanks David, I had a real quick scan but misses that. So that covers being built, so now I need to identify what species of bird it is and find out whether it will be re-used? -
I asked this question in another thread, to no avail, so can anyone define what the definition of a nesting bird is - preferrably with some case law to back it up. Is a nest under construction - sans eggs or young, included? Is a nest still protected after a brood of young have flown, but before more eggs may be laid (Obviously some species re-use for a second clutch and some don't) Todays construction client cocked up on the environmental checks, we arrived, checked the bird box to find eleven eggs in it. Now the client wants to know when we can return to fell the tree as it's in the middle of a classroom for a new build school:001_smile:

A nice 'golden elm' surely!

Thanks David, and Paul. Thought I'd failed to keep up!

Oh the joys of living in the country :lol: Can't be worse than pigs!
