    Mosquitos

    Great. They don’t bother me that much. But that noise in your earhole is annoying at night. It’s another matter when we get species that can spread horrible diseases though. And even if they can’t survive long term. They can do a lot of damage in the short term that they’re active. I’ve had a...

    A New Tinder (for me)

    We must have faith in the bulbs that she planted beneath the snow We must hold on, and we must let go.

    The Elusive “One Knife” for Bushcraft…?

    Awww the old BcUK Spyderco designed by a man of this here parish. Such great ergonomics on that handle. I love it. CLEM uses his loads after the old spalted handles were stabilised. What a cock up that was. That actually qualifies for the ‘one knife’ ethos.

    Cats

    I don’t think she wants to go down that route again. The last experience wasn’t great.

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    I’d say it’s highly unlikely anyone is going to come after you for a skull. A skin on the otherhand though….

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    That’s what I said. But you try proving it. Recording where you found it isn’t proof. Anyone can make that up. Photographing it is the same. That’s not proof either. If you had a dashcam and you ran over it by accident. That’s proof. Finding roadkill doesn’t mean it was killed legally. As...

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    It’s illegal to possess any part of a badger unless obtained lawfully. Roadkill isn’t deemed lawful unless you can provide burden of proof, as it was taken from the wild. This is extremely difficult to prove and photographs alone won’t do it, as anyone can kill a badger and move it onto the...

    My On The Bench Today Thread

    You went with the newer logo then. Are you going to stick a broad arrow on there too? Or is that something you don’t want to touch?

    What fungi did you spot today?

    Loads by us. But don’t try and cook them in an air fryer. Just dries the things and doesn’t cook them. Paying for that today.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    I’ve no idea. Mine looks like some kind of resin. I did accidentally leave a kiwi in one of my old ones for a couple of months to protect it and put that inside another larger cup. When I found it, the whole bottom had rotted out of both cups. I always rise and dry immediately after use or...

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    Yeah, I think it’s newly emerged and the wings haven’t developed correctly. And that’s making ID very difficult. @PoppyD might be good at helping with this or @Broch They both know their moth-onions.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    It goes after a while. Get some cheap lager and leave it in there for a few hours. Tip it out. Rinse, dry. Repeat. Mine just smells of honey now. I drink red wine and ale out of their too. Not spirits though.

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    Your location (I’m assuming it’s from your locale) The size as far as I can deduce from your pics. The colour and pattern. It’s just the short stubby wings that throws me right off.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    That’s my mead cup. A good 16 years old bought from the Sherwood archers shop. The amount of wasps I’ve rescued from that and also transferred to my mouth before realising is no joke. No point in changing the subject. She’ll see it eventually. Luckily she’s obviously up to something today and...
