  1. The Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management (Research for Amenity Trees) Does anyone know where to get this book for less than £80.00, can't find it anywhere. Don't really have that much to spend on it or even half that is still pricey and don't need it new.
  2. I am sure bramble will be back, its usually pretty good at getting everywhere. Do you know what deer you have there, is it mostly roe?
  3. I use ACER laptops, pretty simple and good runners. Bought one for about £200 about 5 years ago was the last one. Still have the one before that which works perfect apart from the battery needs replacing. But with ACER there is no need to have a crank handle as they start by just pushing the on button. Works real good. www.ebuyer.com seem to supply good quality stuff. Have bought from them since about 1998.

    Bug id?

    Yes I think that is correct. The lilly beetle looks very similar but has a red head rather than black.
  5. Amazing, Mr Humphries. Are these all out of the archive?
  6. This fella was hanging about while I was cutting some shrubs back today.
  7. Good deal! Just bought one from Amazon for 48p. Had bought the collins British Insects guide which is pretty useful but wanted a specific butterfly book too. Thanks for the hint.
  8. Cheers Gary. Looks like it. What book do you have?
  9. Ok sounds good. Will spend a bit of time on it and see how it goes. Ta
  10. I see okay. I was reading up on some other stuff and got some fairly differing settings to what you have just explained. There are many variables so I think I will take on board what you have said and try that with a bit of jiggery pokery until I get it right. Generally I can take a decent photo with most cameras but moving birds are a bit of a thing to get the hang of. Thanks for the advice and I will let you know how it goes. Took some shots of the terns today ducking and diving into the pond. None of them were up to snuff so will try again next time they come along.
  11. Bloody good shots there. What shutterspeed are you using and what was the iso? would like to know for myself and taking bird shots better.
  12. Mr Heron came by the pond, saw me and perched in this tree.
  13. Haven't seen any small blues around our way yet. But nice slow worm pic. Swallows and terns been turning up at our pond. Good sign that summer is on its way I reckon.
  14. Good catch there Mick and the wisteria is looking good!
  15. Yep some of the brood frames for a national hive. Got some busy honey bees at the moment.
  16. Sorbus torminalis could well be.
  17. Well excuse me all over the place. Noice tree though.
  18. Nice until they fall off all over the place.
  19. my initial thought was Zelkova. But it is probably a cherry having just flowered.
  20. Fantastic. Must be quite a sight those whoopers flying in.
  21. Very good indeed. Nice camera there. I am about to get a better lens for my LUMIX micro four thirds. Will get me to 300mm which hopefully will work for some good close ups. More localised wildlife here. Beautiful scene.
  22. Yes a very good quick shot. What camera are you using?
