Back to Scammonden. We planted 105 hawthorn, 45 downy birch and 105 Rowan. We were: myself, Geoff, Dave, Tanya, Philip, Richard, Michael, Steve, Stephen and Hap.
While sitting down having our break Geoff spotted a stoat/weasel, and most of us got a glimpse. Seems the major difference is a black tip to the tail. I don't think any of us got that good a look at it as they are pretty speedy. It disappeared over a wall. But then popped its head back up to look at us! Cute. And as far as I am aware they don't eat trees, so carry on stoat/weasel.
I think there might be a Toots and the Maytals song for every blog entry from now on.
