Warm day and glassy water at Snug Beach this morning, followed by an hour of brushcutting. Guess I don't need the gym.

Spectacular Sunrise over Chard this morning, before holding another Conservation Workday at the Dorset patch with EuCan volunteers. Last of the brushcutting completed & willow, birch & ash felled after winter storm damage. A very successful day! #UKbirding

Today's BnB guests will be arriving late, so I've done some extra maintenance and will be heading down the paddock later to eliminate stray environmental weeds and do some more brushcutting near the buildings for bushfireprep.
Spotted a bandicoot and two echidnas, good to see my efforts paying off!

Good morning world. It’s a sunny Saturday morning I’m halfway through the brushcutting then it will be weeding, clear leaves then jet wash the patio followed by an entirely dangerous amount of alcohol.

After a solid morning brushcutting some chill time in the hammock is in order!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be dozing in the glasshouse.

Morning all. A damp, dreary one today. We’re continuing to clear the overhanging branches on the old glasshouse and will be brushcutting the south perimeter.

Let’s get to it!

So after the tractor work, the margins and level changes need strimming/brushcutting. After four years without olives, it’s nice to pull the land back into shape, even if the trees are in need of a good haircut…

It is brushcutting/snake season so just ducking inside to congratulate Donald Trump for murdering more people in boats.
I had no idea America’s young stockbrokers were all fucked up on Venezuelan fish.

I rowed out to some of the islands at Parson's Carr nature reserve today. In spring these are home to many Black-headed Gulls, which prefer no trees and less vegetation, so was brushcutting, Sophie was chainsawing

Spear-leaved Orache was very common around the shore line

It was good to be back on Bodmin Moor this weekend, helping Cornwall Butterfly Conservation with habitat management for the Pearl-bordered Fritillary colony at Pendavy 🌍

Today on our 1st work party at Kilsby Lane LWS we planted Rowans on the spoil heap of scrapings when the artificial pitches were laid. Mitigating light pollution. And did a bit more grassland and scrub mangement using our battery brush cutter and hand tools. Good to be back but the site has "issues"

It is in the UK as it's damp heat, in Portugal I was brushcutting in 36c, it's a dry heat so much nicer

Yep, announcement for Victoria was released today.
I was brushcutting long grass on the weekend while standing in ankle deep water. Barley grass hasn't turned yet

I figure when I get around to doing my brushcutting this spring I will just have to pay someone to haul it off. I hate that. But I don't OWN a pickup and I don't want to dragoon my pickup-owning friends into helping me haul the yard waste to the dump!

Later on today when it’s too hot for brushcutting, I will return to the writing desk. We have had a packed tight couple weeks emotionally, physically, and mentally. Pausing only for one drug-addled afternoon, which is more or less saintly.

Not this year - it was in the backyard where I've been brushcutting back willows and wild grapevines... now that they've been cleared, it'll look more presentable this spring. The folks got sick and left things go for too long, so I wasn't taking many snaps of the disaster area 🤪

.....we find our method of brushcutting then spraying to be highly effective in controlling weeds and actually cuts down on the amount of chemical used overall - less vegetation to spray means less chemical used.

End of🧵 feel free to ask questions 👍

Brushcutting gets the material down and out of the way. This reduces competition and also gives us easier access to inspect the trees, beat up etc. There is some value in the weeds for pollinators etc, so we leave the middle of the lanes, only removing anything impacting trees
