There were self-seeded strands of young honeysuckle growing near it the following spring which I tied over the top of it thinking to make it look a little more attractive. That worked. This looks better than a bare stump.
Beyond the honeysuckle stump, just over the field fence, near those two dead stalks of dock, I think there is a Chiffchaff nest in among the bracken and some cypress branches we left there. I saw a bird flitting to and fro collecting food or nesting material the other day. There is a Chiffchaff chiffing right outside the window as I write and it or its friends have been quite vocal over the last few days. I'm wishing it breeding success.
There are Willow Warblers about too but they are not being so loud at the moment.
