Just before Christmas we had Storm Barra which left us with this half-tree measuring maybe thirty foot long and a circumference of say three feet.

Just abandoned in a four foot surge. I reckoned it would take a six foot (above normal) surge to re-float it.

And so it proved to be, but it took an un-christened storm to move it just a week ago. Thanks

Will it, or won’t it? It’s rocking and only needs a current shove.
It’s getting close to moving!
And here it is two hundred yards downstream.

And here it is after an overnight move, two hundred yards downstream and perched atop a knoll. It’ll now take a seven foot surge to dislodge it – if at all.
