    I saw a white tailed eagle between the villages of Aubourn and Bassingham in Lincolnshire in a field with its prey then it flew off as my car got nearer, although I did see it return to its prey in my rear view mirror. This was in May '24. I went on the RSPB website to report it, but amongst the questions they asked me to enter one included the coordinates of where it was spotted. I had no idea, I just know it was half way between the 2 villages (about 2 miles apart) so I gave up. I'd have thought the RSBP would have made it a lot simpler as the important thing is people being able to spot rare birds and report them without absolute precise details of its location. Coincidentally, my neighbour also saw a white tailed eagle soaring over his house in Aubourn in June this year and he didn't bother reporting it for the same reasons either. It was an amazing site though!

    Hello to this group of Wollemi appreciators. I'm a regular visitor to Trebah Gardens on the Helston Estuary, Cornwall UK, where I came across several naturalised Wollemi doing very well. They're warmed here by the Gulf Stream and protected from Atlantic gales by the deep valley in which the gardens are situated. It's a home to many botanical marvels and has a rich, rare collection of many indigenous plants - one of the most beautiful I know. I bought a Wollemi seedling at their nursery and brought it back to my garden in North London where it has been thriving for 12 years. It's now 3 metres tall and growing. I planted it in a deep brick-lined sump to contain its roots so it wouldn't take over the house and neighbourhood. It bears fruit every two years on a regular basis but the harvested seeds haven't germinated. Would one of the expert readers on this website kindly clarify if it's monoecious or dioecious? I would be pleased to post some photographs if I knew how to post them up. Good wishes to all and especially to those protecting the future.

    Wonderful tree. I would love to have a copy in my Aboretum here in Germany. My great-grandfather and grandfather collected trees. There are now almost 50 different tree species on 70 hectares. A lot of them over 120 years old. Mainly conifers. I followed in their footsteps. I do this without any economic interest. Just to give trees a place to live. I can understand her passion very well. :) A never-ending project. I just can't stop.

Do you have any tips on selecting a suitable habitat for a Wollemi Pine in your own garden / property in the UK? I'd like to add one to my Mini Forest but I'm concerned about not planting it in the right place.
