Another stunning day, long may it last.
Today spent making a start on cutting down the willow tree. Hard work as not very good with ladders and a electric saw, prefer to be grounded when using anything electrical. 50% cut, remaining will have to wait until next year now.
The long twigs are being used for a willow fence. The medium thick branches used as stakes for the fence and the trunky bits will be cut up for another log pile. Anything else will be shredded.
Bit of a surprise to see a load of straw out of one of the hedgehog boxes. Loads of it, have pushed back in and have a trail camera focused on it tonight. Also have a camera connected inside. Watch this space.
Good to see a red admiral enjoying the ivy flowers in this mornings sun. Also plenty of bees and wasps about, a hornet was also spotted looking I think for somewhere to hibernate?
