I suppose the next picture will be of your dog with a bleeding leg...

Anthony,

Could the photograph be for the sake of the horse?

Anybody see an answer to the ararum question?

Here's a puzzle. A friend goes rock climbing on these limstone blocks, but the local land owner is not happy, so he has put these boxes up. http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=117530

Odd looking bat boxes. Swift boxes?

Is there an Orange tip caterpiller on the Cardamine?

Anthony,

So the landowner is just creating an extra large handhold for them? 

So your friend just goes onto anyone's land and rock climbs without permission?  Here, that is called trespassing and as far as I know you could be charged.

They look like window boxes to me...where are the zonal geraniums and annuals???

No law of trespass (well, none that is enforceable) in Scotland. We have freedom to roam anywhere we choose. Land owners have wasted fortunes trying to stop people accessing land. This is just the latest way to try and stop climbers. Previously they have used engine oil and grease in the hand holes.

Not quite what an aggressive wee gent with a shotgun said to me some years ago as I hiked near Loch Ossian   (and yes he got his answer )

Thanks for the interesting link Anthony.  Here in Ireland we could do with this kind of explicit statement of access rights & responsibilities.

Nearly - but you'll get it with the next pic.

What?

[Lesley Cox]

In NZ trespass is enforceable on privately owned land or property (farms, schools etc) but damage must be proved.

I find it odd that you in Britain can go anywhere you wish, such as over privately owned farms, yet can't get in a decent bit of fishing. Here, private is protected; public (including all lakes, rivers, mountains etc), is available to any and everyone.

What horse?

If you look closely (get your specs on Lesley) you'll see an egg on one of the seed stalks. Mark was correct when he said orange tip, because I watched her lay it.

Perfect egg laying balanced on that stem - Blurs of Orange Tips is all I've seen
