A reminder to those of us with wood piles

[chuffinwilly]

A quick reminder to those with woodsheads or wood piles,, just remember they are nice and dry / warm places,
i've always worried about picking wood up from the piles and finding something small and furry living there (my pet hate rats/mice)
anyway about half an hour ago i decided to get in a few small chunks to start the fire as i just seemed to have big fat off chunks in the house , off i trot loads my arm up with half a dozon or so and got stung by a sleeping wasp

bloody stings too
but hey ho i'll survive
just a reminder to knock the bit of wood on something hard before stacking into your arm .
spiders,wasps,mice,rats etc ect

I would rather kiss a rat than have a big spider on me but that's just me lol

Probably just a queen wasp overwintering

A timely reminder. Thank you.

Thank you for that, I have a very big wood store/shed and take it for granted, but I will now check and bang my wood
Cheers

I accidentally killed a very large red admiral last week, by not checking the logs as I removed them from a pile. Made me feel awful.

We got asked to log up a large pile of dead fallen branches on an estate last week, unfortunately we displaced a family of voles in the process I'm sure they will be fine as there was no plans to move the logs once we'd logged them and plenty of warm dry places in the cut logs to rebuild but I have to admit to feeling bad about it all day. If we'd seen them first we would have left that branch as it was....I hate upsetting things that I don't have too (with the exception of you lot I suppose )

Cheers
