Last summer and autumn I made some headway in treating the overgrowth of brambles etc outside the back garden in the hope it'd clear a way to some fly tipping the former owner did in the woods so I could start clearing it up.

Today I finally went out to assess the situation and have a look around, and anyone who's known me a while will know I am slightly obsessed with pylons.
So imagine my squeal of delight when, in moving some brush aside, I discovered this gem.
@babe Wait, uh, what... what does this do

I've given it a good going over with the pressure washer. The discs are all fully in tact. Now I just need to figure out what to do with it.
I'm thinking of removing the links and turning them into sun catchers in the window
@babe it screams "multi level bird table" to me

@babe took this the other day, though mostly because of the sky I must admit
@Lacey Awww it's such a cute little one

The woods are now clear enough that I've been able to set the hedgehog nesting boxes up out there nicely.
The Hog's Hedge (the big feeding station with the portrait in it) has now been turned into a second nest box. I'll be setting up a network extender to put a camera back in it at some point.Something hedgehog sized has already investigated The Igel's Nest but not stuck around. Still no visitors on the feeder cam though.

@babe And they say us folks in the USA have strange measurement scales. “Well now, that looks like it’s maybe 2.5 bunnies long!”

@babe That looks a lot like the core of a furry tail tbh. just needs a furry slip cover and a harness worn backwards to attach it so it can swing back and forth.

@old_angry_queer Moves in much the same way I imagine one would, just very weightily.
There's a surprising amount of movement for something so heavy

@babe Good! Finally a furry tail that can knock someone out
I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find someone that wants to get tail beat unconscious. -

@babe My pylon obsession is not as strong as when I was a small child (turns out they are not as structurally sound in Plasticine as they are in steel, btw), but I am nevertheless still kinda jealous over here

@babe It never fails to surprise me how large these are when you get them up close.

@gilester45 I actually found myself thinking the opposite, I expected them to be bigger.
I think the pylons that have most captured my interest have been some of the biggest in the country which might have skewed my impression a bit
