Winter woods

Not easy to tell from the photo but it looks like a low layered hedge to me

 

pete, we are both right.

Quote from Wikipedia ....

"Wattle-and-daub refers to a technique of using flexible sticks, branches, or twigs (collectively, the wattle) woven together and packed with mud or similar to make fences, walls, and roofs."

 

Thanks ....I also googled wattle,and that'll do for me.........

An old avatar LoL.....Reminds me of my Tootsie.

 

I disagree. If the hedge is alive then it is layered. If the twigs are cut and woven then it is wattle. Daub is the mixture of clay and dung applied to wattle walls to make them wind and water proof.

As you can see it is a kind of managed plantation,(Doesn't look so good close up)and a good idea to utalise all of the surpless timber,making an ideal habitat for wildlife.

 

Also in the woods yesterday,these strange pertrusions from a tree,they appered to be timber?

 

Yes - they are not fungi and are perfectly natural.

 

Sorry everyone I was just answering LOLs Wattle and thought of the word Daub, didn't mean to cause confusion.
Wattle? isn't that Acacia?
More confusion :D

 

and some birds (turkeys) have wattles on their necks.

 

Hey, pete ... confusion reigns here, me thinks!

I was just going to say about my "black wattle" pictures today (have you seen as I've just come back here?) to joke about it and all this "waffle" is going on ... :eek:
