Richard you are spot on with your comments on swallows. We have over fifty nests just on our farmhouse let alone the buildings. And guess what we have lots of cattle!!!! The mess is a bit grim though!
Could you contact the vehicle registration centre at Swansea. If only recently taxed they would have owner details. They might be willing to notify the owner of whereabouts.
Surprised by 101, "What do you want us too do" responce. The car is out of place. Surely the welfare of the owner would be the first concern? They should have thanked you for reporting it and then contacted the owner . Hopefully the car will be moved soon.
we had a car dumped on a farm track years ago and same story police not interested and neither the council did try calling the DVLA but after about 2 hours going around in circles gave up, few mornings later it was gone never saw it again.
That car is taxed until July 24 and MOT until November 23. V5 last issued 17th July 23. Not showing as insured on MID database. Passed its MOT with 103k miles on it, with a caution on the offside CV joint boot and an advisory on the exhaust bracket….. but with a very low food hygiene rating on the kfc.
Go down when its quiet and drag it onto the road, the police will have to deal with it then, you can say its blocking your access and you can show you have done due diligence by contacting the council and police with no effect.
It’s how you report stuff that decides whether you get a response. If you’d said you think you thought you’d saw someone staggering away, they’d be there in minutes. Dramatise it but leave an element of doubt and they’re pretty rapid. I reported an ongoing assault once and I could tell they weren’t interested so added I saw a quick flash of something that could have been a knife, they were there virtually before the call ended. I’m sure the person getting a kicking was grateful, even if nobody else. 😂
Hi, If it's not blocking you from doing anything you want to do, or on your land, don't worry about it, at sometime it will leave, might be broken down waiting for owner to arrange something.
Richard, Just a thought, might be worth checking to see if any keys have been left under the wheel arches, on top of the tyres , sometimes people do this if they intend for somebody else to collect the car.
I live in Ireland in the countryside surrounded by dairy farms we have 3 nests on the house and 2 in the shed they are the most beautiful and agile birds but the mess they leave. Still give me something to do when they leave and before they come back next year. Gotta keep their holiday homes clean and ready.
Of course. With the clamp down on emissions they clearly can't migrate by air anymore, so they got themselves a little economical 1.2 runabout as an alternative :)
Loved the piece about the swallows Richard I remember watching and listening to them in Oxfordshire when I was a young lad, I’m a bit hard of hearing now so can’t really detect the song anymore, we have traveled through France on various occasions and you tend to find not only swallows but lots of martins and swifts in nearly every small town and village as well, we used to have loads by us in Warwickshire but sadly they have declined dramatically, lots of red kites and buzzard’s though, I just love your vids Richard keep up the brilliant work.
I’ve got a horrible feeling some one went for a walk and got into some sort of trouble, why else would you go to the trouble of locking it ,best wishes from Norfolk
A sobering possibility, to be sure, but if that were the case, I really have to wonder why the police, of all people, did not seem to be at all interested?
I was thinking the same it looks like an elderly person's car but then the leftover KFC makes me doubt that but police should have a duty to do a welfare check on the owner if they weren't too lazy 🤔
We always had lots of swallows on our farm too. With the barn open all summer they would nest all over the place, but we didn't mind. We always figured they needed a place to live too. Could you drag that car up into the yard?
Love the swallows. We had loads around our farm but they were replaced this morning by a flock of bee eaters. Similar flight and also after insects on the wing but larger and very colourful. Quite unusual in central France as more associated with the south. As you said, without livestock a lot of other species would suffer.
Hi Rich when you see them all on the wires it’s usually means their gathering on their migration back to Africa they usually do now, and the second Brood go in about a months time.
If its on the common land bit there is not alot you can do. Our parish council had a similar issue when a local started parking on it, had to put bolders round the edge to stop it. Otherwise as someone else posted move it to the highway away from the common land then the authorities will move it as an obstruction
Nice swallow acknowledge video.our swallows arrive May 5 and leave September 5. Unfortunately,the population seams to be declining.I wonder if it is because of the insecticides used on the crops or GMO insect resistant plant varieties being planted.We don’t use any on our farm ,but are surrounded by corn (maize) and soybean farms. Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos.
Lovely to see so many swallows. We used to have them where I live but I haven't seen one locally for years. I'd really like to think they're making a come back.
Its Taxed until 01/07/2024 and MOT 04th November 2023. The Vehicle has no insurance. Its dumped or stolen and depending on who owns that bit of land !! Police will look into it and unless its stolen its a council issue but they might not do anything with it until MOT and tax have run out. If its your land then get the scrap man out from a local breakers yard. If it appeared after you popped the bales in front of the gate it maybe the visitors were going to use it for lamping. The police can identify the keeper and inform them to remove it. If its common land then its parish council responsibility many commons are owned by local authorities, the National Trust and other bodies for the public benefit. Yes your right on what will probably end up happening to it
The police and the council are not Instrested what a joke great vloggs funky farmer buy the way as always 👍👍let us all know on the outcome buddy tc ❤️👍👍
Swallows are doing a great job !! And so are you embracing such a wonderful bird that travels such along way to get to your farm year after year .feel for you over the dumped car situation.
Hi Richard, hope you can get that car out of there. Here in the USA the police put a mark on the car with a time on it after that when the time is up it goes to impound and the owner gets charged storage and it is not cheap!
Great idea and works here but I'm not sure there? Richard what about contacting the licensing centre? In my days that was done in Swansea. See if they can supply some info to pass onto the Police. Looking at the car it looks clean and in good nick. Could have been nicked from further afield?
Looking at that car, it doesn't show as having any insurance on it, so I think it is most likely they wanted to quickly discard of the car. Strange that it has just had tax put on it though, as that's £200 / year road tax. Would hope the police would be interested as it sounds very much like something that has been used in crime, especially as it seems they wanted to discard of it so quickly, so very disappointing really from them.
@@gregshearer423sorry for the late reply. I can only go off the public information online, but I believe to tax the vehicle initially you have to have insurance, but then I think they have probably called insurance company and cancelled the insurance. Then haven't bothered with the tax cancellation and refund.
Thank you for the view of the swallows, i love them! They have some at a local farm too. They’re fun to watch! Very very strange and not right about the car. They parked it intentionally there, and leaving food in? I wonder if theres either suspicious circumstances or self harm with something? I hope someone gets off their butts to take care of it so you dont have to. You have enough to deal with!
Hi I’ve checked that car and it’s not insured, don’t know if this helps you, I know what you mean the police just don’t care it’s the same up here in the north east
Richard pull the car out onto the Road and then it will be their Problem and not yours thats what I would do if it was on my Property cheers from Bonnie Scotland
This clear weather you can see all the planes flying over burning fuel and they worry about a few cows farting 💨 Hard work getting some one to sort anything out would of thought the police could trace the owner like you said .
Cattle not only good for nature but also keep our land fertilised, WW2 when we got rid of most of our livestock by the end of the war crop yields where falling off due to lack of manure and we had to revert to chemicals until herd numbers where backup.
Unfortunately this is the problem with things like this we did exactly the same as you contacting the police and council with no interest etc we contacted the local village police office and basically they stuck a police aware sign on it and two days later it disappeared so where not sure if it was the council or the person who dumped it unfortunately it’s becoming a common thing we had another before that which was was full of rubbish and had been dumped which got collected by the council it’s a real pain in the rear
Over here it's considered an abandoned vehicle. Police will check it and attempt to notify the owner. If the owner is found they are given the opportunity to move it otherwise they will impound the vehicle.
Personally, I'd leave it there a little longer. Someone could've genuinely broken down who's not from the area and parked it there while they try and get something organised to sort it out. I've been in a similar situation where the car has broken down and we've had to cruise it onto a grass verge beside a farmers field. It was the safest option as it wasn't obstructing the road and yes it was the farmers land but it wasn't affecting farm access. We had to go back at a later date with the recovery lorry once we'd organised it which took over a week and collect the car. Unfortunate things happen. Please don't drag it onto the road as some people are suggesting as it's quite dangerous especially as it looks to be on a bend. Maybe leave your phone number under the wiper blade and hopefully when the owner returns, God help something hasn't happened to them, they'll give you a ring and maybe leave you a few quid for your troubles. I wouldn't scrap it just yet especially as it's taxed and everything there's little to be suspicious about regarding it. Nice to see the Swallows Richard.
Hi Richard, Get the Silage Gang round and park up on the road trying to get access into the field were the Abandoned Car, The Police " Might" be a bit more interested ❓️🤔 Craic On 👍
Ask the car fairy's to make it magically appear in the road one night and the police will have to do something then! You could also try contacting the Fire brigade and big up the fear of arson. Sometimes they can help if they feel the same way.
we've had a similar thing happen here only in our case it is a dumped caravan on the edge of some common land that belongs to the council......I rang the police also on the 101 number and they said the same thing it's nothing to do with them it's the job for the local council to dispose of it, and the caravan has a number plate on it. The thing is we've had a lot of trouble with fly tipping around here almost every week theres stuff being dumped in field gateways even in the fields sometimes if the gate has been left open. I told the police we been getting a lot of fly tipping and i said maybe this its the same person doing all the fly tipping and suggested to them that they could trace the number plate and do a bit of detective work and maybe that would leed them to the fly tipper.......they weren't interested.......the caravan is still there........hopeless
I "tried" to contact the police about a vehicle left for 3 days. Based on where it was I was concerned about the possible welfare of the driver. No luck, just told to go the website and register. No hope and ironically the call handler for the police actually drove past it her self on her way to work. (Those were her exact words).
Y785JNL V5 last exchanged 26/06/2023 so some one has only recently bought it! DVLA can give you the details if you have reasonable grounds i.e. land owner etc.
I had the same problem with a Vsuxhskl astra parked out side my house a couple of months ago,I rang the police who wrote very helpful I had noticed the V5 documents on the seat gave police all the details,if boys after 3 weeks call again, I did I asked if one of the neighbours could have it ,police man said teregister it as his own,the owner turned up with a lie loader and a key and moved it,nice car for Jack to learn to drive in
Hi Richard,I had a similar problem with a car it actually crashed through the hedge and the owners were off there heads on drugs and they fled the scene the police were called and they said as it was off the road it wasn’t their problem they knew who owned it the council didn’t want to know and it was our problem to get rid of so I loaded it onto the scrapmans truck with the swing shovel and sent it up the road and we heard absolutely nothing since so I would say maybe try and find the owner and if you have no joy do the same send it up the road with the scrap man👍
As it's on council property and taxed and MOTed, I think he would be risking getting done for theft and criminal damage if the owner suddenly showed up. As someone else said, he would be better approaching it as a missing person. Someone parked this car up next to his field in the middle of nowhere then walked off, and hasn't been seen in over 2 weeks, express concerns for walfare, etc and it might get different results. I've not seen any more recent videos so I don't know how it actually turned out.
And what a good morning it could have been if it wasn’t for a new car park, Morning Richard, Y not pick it up and park it in the council car park it may get a bit of notice, We get the same thing here in Norfolk they just don’t want to know, Well our Richard I wish you the best of luck with that you maybe need if, You and your family take care of yourselves and stay safe and well.👍👍🚙🚙🚙⭐️⭐️⭐️.
You tell alot from watching swollows. I learnt when I was in my teens on the farm if you see swollows high up that means it's going to be a dry day if you see them dive bomming in the fields that means it going to be a wet morning because all the bugs come up to the tops of the grass to escape the damp.
My immediate thoughts would be whether you could maybe tow or somehow move somewhere else or even just back a bit, closer to the road? Would the police or council be interested then? If it's a potential traffic hazard? Not saying you should leave it in the middle of the road or anything like that, just... you know, get it to move closer to it (all by itself of course)? Mind-boggling, really, that no one seems to care... Then again, this sort of thing is where I REALLY like to get petty. I know you probably don't have that kind of time, but if it were me, I'd be calling or emailing (with pictures) all the people I can think of that are supposedly in charge of this sort of thing until they fix the situation (which you have already tried). If they act like they don't care, then their bosses are going to hear about it. If they don't care, THEIR bosses are going to hear about it. And so the story goes on and on, until someone SOMEWHERE gets really sick of me pestering them and just does what they were supposed to in the first place. That can be a 5 minute, couple of hours, or a multiple days process - but in the end, it usually gets me what I "want". A Off the top of my head though, another angle could also be to try reporting it as an environmental hazard? I mean, vandalism and fire/torching are just some of the things that could happen, but considering how hell-bent people seem to be about the environment these days, you'd think something like potentially leaking oil or fluids would matter too? Whether or not it actually comes to that is almost irrelevant - someone just needs to be made to believe that it could. 🤷♀️ Best of luck and I really hope you get this all sorted sooner rather than later!
@@jameskidd900 I don't disagree, but from the sounds of it there didn't seem to be much interest and/or chance of outside help, making this a sort of DIY, or rather DHY (do help yourself), project. Even if the car was on council land, you are right, they really should have been more helpful in finding a solution. Then again, it is also true that none of us were privy to the phone calls or emails to them, so we can't really say for sure what reason the authorities had for not stepping in to help (police or council). Good or bad, the possibilities are endless, but in the end, knowing would not really change anything either and the car would still be stuck where it was. Which is why I tried to think of different practical (legal) things that could possibly work - because lets face it, we all have better things to do than messing about with reluctant authorities all day.
as to the car call the police have them check it as it could be a insurance scam, or genuinely broken down... who owns it could of reported it stolen after being chased by police... 2 weeks id have the police come take it away.
No insurance on the vehicle, mot till November and taxed till July 2024, I would suspect dumped, fill out a v62 form from dvla to apply for a log book if they send you the log book quids in if not it will notify the owners you have tried and give them a kick to come get it
As it’s taxed mot’d and probably insured the police won’t bother with it as long as it’s not stolen. It’s parked off the road so it’s not causing an obstruction. I know it’s not the answer you wanted to hear but the council should remove it.
It is disgusting. Had this last week with a wrecked car up the road which three days prior to it being wrecked had passed mot and taxed. Ridiculous scenario. Can u tow it into a barn ? Out of harms way ? Just a thought. Surely after an amount of time it becomes your property ? It’s a crazy country we live in atm. Best wishes
simple job on that car,very carefully drag it back to the road, and then put it in a safe wide spot and leave it, will soon vanish then. only need a rope and a slow tow, especially on the grass, just lift the rear end where the hand brake is, seen that done a good few times,with abandoned cars worked every time as its public land then not private like your gateway is
Or another option is Richard get a caravan and sleep in it on your Field then you can catch those law breakers on your private land property red handed
If it's taxed until next July it would certainly have been insured as of July 1st. Maybe a very simple explanation. If there's no obstruction there's little more you can do.

Absolutely shocking that the council and police do not care.
Been that way for a while now , they are just not interested in anything unless its hurty words
Not that shocking unfortunately
Shocking but not surprising.
This is the state of Britain today speak out about the illegal immigrants and they will lock you up.
Why not try the local radio station or television, they may be able to do something to sort it.
Maybe a young courting couple flattened the battery and got a lift home and haven't a clue where they left it
It might been teen kid who likes kfc and a chocolate 🍫 bar
@@jameskidd900 he didn't like KFC or chocolate as he left them in the car😂
Hot wire it and let Harry drive it around the field😂
@@Tanks_In_Space just make sure they dont see you doing it no evidence ofcoarse I am just joking 🙂
Put the pallet tines under it and move it in to the road the council or police will soon be interested then 😂
You should of told them it was blocking the migrates coming in they would of soon moved it
We have a farm in Aberdeenshire and have always had swallows as well. I think this year we have had more than I can ever remember.
Richard you are spot on with your comments on swallows. We have over fifty nests just on our farmhouse let alone the buildings. And guess what we have lots of cattle!!!! The mess is a bit grim though!
The police are a waste of space ! To busy painting their helmets rainbow colours.
Hi Richard take it home let the boys drive it around the farm
Bloody joke it takes seconds for the police to find the owner and ask them country is getting a joke
Could you contact the vehicle registration centre at Swansea. If only recently taxed they would have owner details. They might be willing to notify the owner of whereabouts.

we had a car dumped on a farm track years ago and same story police not interested and neither the council did try calling the DVLA but after about 2 hours going around in circles gave up,

The DVLA will give you the relevant details as long as you have a reasonable cause to ask. For example after an accident or if the car is abandoned.
Richard go to gov . Uk and put report Abandoned car
Amazing. thank you for showing them.xx😀

Surely you'd take your dinner with you if you left your broken down car? Bit odd that, buying a takeout KFC but then leaving it in the car.
Give over. What a load of nonsense.
Tow the car or have it picked up and just leave it outside the council building , then they are forced to deal with it ☺
Hi Richard,
Get the Silage Gang round and park up on the road trying to get access into the field were the Abandoned Car,

You could also try contacting the Fire brigade and big up the fear of arson. Sometimes they can help if they feel the same way.
My record was seeing 18 swallows one day. They have nested in the garage and in a machinery shed.
Maybe try the dvla and try and enquire whose it is get hold of the owner directly.

I told the police we been getting a lot of fly tipping and i said maybe this its the same person doing all the fly tipping and suggested to them that they could trace the number plate and do a bit of detective work and maybe that would leed them to the fly tipper.......they weren't interested.......the caravan is still there........hopeless
As for the police they have a duty to check on the welfare of the driver. For all they know they could have come to harm
You’d think.
I "tried" to contact the police about a vehicle left for 3 days. Based on where it was I was concerned about the possible welfare of the driver. No luck, just told to go the website and register. No hope and ironically the call handler for the police actually drove past it her self on her way to work. (Those were her exact words).
A very good Wednesday morning to you all
Richard, You could do with a forklift to lift the car or a tractor to drag it and move it onto the public highway somewhere close to town ???
Doesn't need a forklift, the Bale Spikes would do just as good a job.
Y785JNL V5 last exchanged 26/06/2023 so some one has only recently bought it! DVLA can give you the details if you have reasonable grounds i.e. land owner etc.
I checked the mot and it is pretty clean, only advisories we’re a torn cv boot and a Bargain bucket where the spare wheel should be
You need a radio for the tractor don't you then I'd see if you can scrap it your self scrap value is good at the moment
I had the same problem with a Vsuxhskl astra parked out side my house a couple of months ago,I rang the police who wrote very helpful I had noticed the V5 documents on the seat gave police all the details,if boys after 3 weeks call again, I did I asked if one of the neighbours could have it ,police man said teregister it as his own,the owner turned up with a lie loader and a key and moved it,nice car for Jack to learn to drive in
Not showing up as insured on the ask mid database
shocking that the council and police do not care.
Hi Richard,I had a similar problem with a car it actually crashed through the hedge and the owners were off there heads on drugs and they fled the scene the police were called and they said as it was off the road it wasn’t their problem they knew who owned it the council didn’t want to know and it was our problem to get rid of so I loaded it onto the scrapmans truck with the swing shovel and sent it up the road and we heard absolutely nothing since so I would say maybe try and find the owner and if you have no joy do the same send it up the road with the scrap man👍
As it's on council property and taxed and MOTed, I think he would be risking getting done for theft and criminal damage if the owner suddenly showed up.
As someone else said, he would be better approaching it as a missing person. Someone parked this car up next to his field in the middle of nowhere then walked off, and hasn't been seen in over 2 weeks, express concerns for walfare, etc and it might get different results. I've not seen any more recent videos so I don't know how it actually turned out.
Just your luck Richard to get flocks of Swallows and not hordes of semi-naked female warrior Amazons all over your farm.
And what a good morning it could have been if it wasn’t for a new car park, Morning Richard, Y not pick it up and park it in the council car park it may get a bit of notice, We get the same thing here in Norfolk they just don’t want to know, Well our Richard I wish you the best of luck with that you maybe need if, You and your family take care of yourselves and stay safe and well.👍👍🚙🚙🚙⭐️⭐️⭐️.
That Clio isn’t insured on the insurance database and it’s got 85 days left on the MOT
Apply for the logbook then if you get it you can do as you please Richard
You tell alot from watching swollows. I learnt when I was in my teens on the farm if you see swollows high up that means it's going to be a dry day if you see them dive bomming in the fields that means it going to be a wet morning because all the bugs come up to the tops of the grass to escape the damp.
My immediate thoughts would be whether you could maybe tow or somehow move somewhere else or even just back a bit, closer to the road? Would the police or council be interested then? If it's a potential traffic hazard? Not saying you should leave it in the middle of the road or anything like that, just... you know, get it to move closer to it (all by itself of course)?
Mind-boggling, really, that no one seems to care... Then again, this sort of thing is where I REALLY like to get petty. I know you probably don't have that kind of time, but if it were me, I'd be calling or emailing (with pictures) all the people I can think of that are supposedly in charge of this sort of thing until they fix the situation (which you have already tried). If they act like they don't care, then their bosses are going to hear about it. If they don't care, THEIR bosses are going to hear about it. And so the story goes on and on, until someone SOMEWHERE gets really sick of me pestering them and just does what they were supposed to in the first place. That can be a 5 minute, couple of hours, or a multiple days process - but in the end, it usually gets me what I "want".

Off the top of my head though, another angle could also be to try reporting it as an environmental hazard? I mean, vandalism and fire/torching are just some of the things that could happen, but considering how hell-bent people seem to be about the environment these days, you'd think something like potentially leaking oil or fluids would matter too? Whether or not it actually comes to that is almost irrelevant - someone just needs to be made to believe that it could. 🤷♀️
Best of luck and I really hope you get this all sorted sooner rather than later!
The police should be stopping crime like some people left vehicle on his private property police should be shamed of them self’s
@@jameskidd900 I don't disagree, but from the sounds of it there didn't seem to be much interest and/or chance of outside help, making this a sort of DIY, or rather DHY (do help yourself), project. Even if the car was on council land, you are right, they really should have been more helpful in finding a solution. Then again, it is also true that none of us were privy to the phone calls or emails to them, so we can't really say for sure what reason the authorities had for not stepping in to help (police or council). Good or bad, the possibilities are endless, but in the end, knowing would not really change anything either and the car would still be stuck where it was. Which is why I tried to think of different practical (legal) things that could possibly work - because lets face it, we all have better things to do than messing about with reluctant authorities all day.
Set of lifting toes on the loader and set it on to the road
Police could look up and find out who owns the vehicle. It could be that someone has been in trouble.
That would be a great ride for Jack in the next few years.
as to the car call the police have them check it as it could be a insurance scam, or genuinely broken down...
who owns it could of reported it stolen after being chased by police... 2 weeks id have the police come take it away.
No insurance on the vehicle, mot till November and taxed till July 2024, I would suspect dumped, fill out a v62 form from dvla to apply for a log book if they send you the log book quids in if not it will notify the owners you have tried and give them a kick to come get it
That's infuriating about the car, nice swallows!
You're doing what you can about the car. Hopefully someone will come and remove it.
Well that car had a new v5c logbook issued 17.july 2023, taxed 1,july 2023 and mot till 4 Nov 2023 .
I'd get someone to share it around Facebook as much as possible with a notice on it stating this will be towed away if not claimed soon...
As it’s taxed mot’d and probably insured the police won’t bother with it as long as it’s not stolen. It’s parked off the road so it’s not causing an obstruction. I know it’s not the answer you wanted to hear but the council should remove it.
That would makee infernally angry. You're a better man than I am.
It is disgusting. Had this last week with a wrecked car up the road which three days prior to it being wrecked had passed mot and taxed. Ridiculous scenario. Can u tow it into a barn ? Out of harms way ? Just a thought. Surely after an amount of time it becomes your property ? It’s a crazy country we live in atm. Best wishes
simple job on that car,very carefully drag it back to the road, and then put it in a safe wide spot and leave it, will soon vanish then. only need a rope and a slow tow, especially on the grass, just lift the rear end where the hand brake is, seen that done a good few times,with abandoned cars worked every time as its public land then not private like your gateway is
Try DVLA ! 👍
the car got Tax so will not care also will not give out information
Scrap it if no ones taken responsibility money for haza 😂 lol
Field car for Harry haha did you get it removed in the end
Tow it back to farm sell all the parts scrap the rest
What happens to it in end
As long as u don't damage the vehicle Ur entitled to have it moved Andy can move it yourself
Police saying can’t do anything what’s wrong with this country blame the government police supposed to stop crime
Hi if you put the car on the road police might take it
Or another option is Richard get a caravan and sleep in it on your Field then you can catch those law breakers on your private land property red handed
Have it towed and dropped in the middle of the council lot? I’d send you a few pounds toward that.
If it's taxed until next July it would certainly have been insured as of July 1st. Maybe a very simple explanation. If there's no obstruction there's little more you can do.
sorry mate you should have kept quite about it and one night dragged it out on the road some one might have done some thing about it
what you need to do is hook your tractor onto it, and drag it half on highway and half on grass verge
