I'm looking for a pat on the back. I've had a working day in the garden/scrub, and on telling Mrs B what I had achieved the comment was - "about time you did that instead of running around up there with the camera".
I decided this morning to flail half a acre of gorse, bramble, bracken etc in the lower part of the wood - for no other reason than when I took the picture of the Greenfinch I tripped and went head first into a gorse bush. Below is the fruits of my labour. You can see one of my hides to the left of the picture behind a small Silver Brich tree

This area known as the scrub. I flailed three years ago, quite productive now for small birds - Dartfords, Stonechat etc. and butterflies.

Not content in flailing the wood, I started to log up this Sweet Chestnut tree that came down a month or so ago in the storms. - got to think of next winters log supply!

They will dry out nicely here, ready to be moved to the log shed later
