Felling of Silver birch

There was a dead Silver Birch leaning across the footpath on the southern end of the Lake.
The work was planned to be done much earlier but a storm put this back. Naturally, the tree was checked for any nesting birds in the ivy and none were found.
It took five cuts to fell the Silver birch, which was easily confirmed as dead throughout.
The wood was stacked as habitat, and the stump given a 'conservation cut' which should encourage fungus to feast on the deadwood.
