Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
is the nightjar the same as the eurasion nightjar .?
My bird book only lists nightjar and it has a disk with bird songs and calls so it is a nightjar not a grasshopperwarbler
When I take the dogs out in the night 10 -12 for their toilet before bed time I hear in the woods an unusual sound.
The sound is like a high pitch hammer drill and it goes on for a long time and then changes pitch.
Any one have ideas what bird it can be?
Thanks

Log dogs/slaters
Are they used to trim the edge of the slate
It would be knocked into an upright log. a slate would be placed on it and the overhanging edge would be trimmed off with a chopping action using a straight edged blade

Lining a shirt/jacket
An idea that may help
Buy at charity shop or use an old soft shirt that fits you and put on under your item to be lined.

How can I get bushcraftuk to recognise me when I sign in?

Has anyone used a sand blaster for use on a karcher pressure washer?
Looking for one to blast the paint and rust off a cement mixer and a metal garden seat before rust proofing and painting
