Potting

C potting out Hornbeam seeds and 2 Midland Hawthorn pips.  Our first attempts at growing on seeds for regenerating the wood.  The seeds are sourced from the wood.

Grass Snake Migration

What looked like a male and a female Grass Snake where making a journey down the wood towards to the river.  Maybe moving to their winter quarters.

Bye bye, Norway Maple

When the forestry commission visited they noticed a sick Norway Maple which didn't fit with the ancient wood - some previous owner planted it.  We felled it!

It was hot sweaty work.  Also you can see my new 3x3 tarp which was a birthday present.

mink or polecat

Taken near the river, plenty of rabbits in this bit of the wood.  Probably a mink, but could be a polecat

St John's Wort and more Squirrel control
