[QUOTE="BrianV, post: 7822576, member: 150008"] Again very much depends on your type of farming, no size fits all, we as sheep farmers as well as cattle struggle when lambs come off the moor as the very first thing they do is wind their wool up in brambles which seem to have grown like mad this year & get themselves well & truly trapped, for this reason we try & trim as many grass fields as soon as we are able. To my mind it is a terrible mistake to legally put trimming back so late in the year just in case of a few imaginary birds, trimming in late July used to give the hedges time to recover before winter where as now they are bare all winter, yet again we are being controlled by people who know the theory but not the practicalities!! We have kids on bikes & horses on their summer holidays trying to get out of the way of cars in narrow roads that are well over grown in August, where is the sense in that do they really believe any bird is stupid enough to nest in a road hedge constantly being thrashed by vehicles wing mirrors.
