The coppicing still isn't finished... there's only a day's work left to do, but I've been ill, so have had to take a break from the woodland work. I did still manage to get up there a bit for some less strenuous activities though, such as cooking a Christmas lunch for us and a friend:
We've changed the birds' food too - they seemed to be rejecting several types of seed that were in the mix we were using in the feeder, so we tried peanuts instead, which proved an immediate hit:
I also managed to get some shots of a buzzard coming to visit, though I doubt the peanuts would be of much interest...
Finally, we also had a different kind of aerial visitor:
This was a DJI drone, brought by Nate of www.buzzardfilms.co.uk, who used it to carry out inspection surveys of some of our oak trees, to check branches for disease or damage that wouldn't be visible from the ground. Here's one of the videos:
Meanwhile, back at home, our cockatiels have been eating chilli peppers...
Hope you have a great 2018, see you in the New Year!
Mike
