Thought better than to go hedging today. Nice view for the coming eternity. 1000m of heavy rough hedge to do.

There is a common misconception that the only value in dead trees is for firewood. Some Australian regional governments are sanctioning the removal of standing dead wood on an industrial scale. Once that unique habitat is gone, the animals living in it have no homes, so they die.

A new season..that went quick! Bit of a limber up ready for the next mile. Bastardized cross between Stafford and Derby style. Properly built with a thick back. Not this half-soaked 'conservation' style which is an excuse for not doing it properly. #hedge #hedgelaying

Saturday 12.09.20 - 10.35 am 50 kg of Carcinogenic Formaldehyde taken out to pour on their diseased fish. 23 days and 2275 kg and still having to "treat" the fish ???? Do they honestly believe ths is working as a "cure" all I see is dustbins of dead fish taken away every day

First and possibly only ploughing and hedging match this season. Poor brittle hedge. Managed to get something out of it. Laid by a bloke with a bad back previously. #stafford style. #hedge

Another hedge sorted. Stafford style cutting. Even the pheasants can't get through this as the dog pegged one. She was released unharmed. #Staffordshire #Stafford #hedge

Come on ⁦Metropolitan Police⁩ do the right thing. Please everyone retweet and get this dog home. apple.news/AY66XKlSrTga4U…

Just to remind you all. In 2019 water companies spent over 1,500,000 hours dumping sewage into rivers in England. Nice to see the industry has its priorities sorted. 🤬

A complete change of style for me. Welsh border. Ongoing and will post more when finished off. #hedge #hedgelaying

Result from being out at 0200 hrs, but mixed feelings with dead bream and eels, 3 in custody everything seized as evidence

Dumping sewage into our rivers and lakes "Save for exceptional circumstance", is illegal. With the new Environment Bill gov intend to make it legal so long as water companies can argue that they are "reducing [the] adverse impacts", of those discharges. independent.co.uk/climate-change…

Pastel drawing of Sam my cocker pup. Drawn and kindly gifted by a trainee on one of our hedge laying courses.

Stood by the truck today and a sparrowhawk came over the hedge and hit this redwing. It came down on the roof. It died ten minutes later. Well that doesn't happen every day.

Oh, to be in England Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf. 'My' English elm was in tiny leaf tonight

Demonstration of our flushing bar at the Erris show in Belmullet today. The bar, combined with slow middle-out mowing, is a huge mitigation against mortality of wildlife in meadows.

Autumn sun and a robin on my billhook.

Brash burnt from 500m of hedge laying and potatoes baked this morning.
