I now have to go and cut hedges, in work, in this sun.



Um, I thought cutting hedges now until much later in the year was a

because of nesting birds.


We have a nesting duck which I leave alone.
The site I look after is in the countryside with lots of other places

for
birds to nest rather than where the humans reside.


You're on the ground, and presumably know what's going on in your patch;
but are you really sure the hedges aren't used by nesting birds?
Hedge-cutting in April would generally be disastrous. Not a very good
idea for most kinds of hedge, either.

I know my site pretty well ;O)
I even know the birds on my site, including the robins that follow me around
everywhere. :O)
Even the rabbits aren't scared of me anymore.

As for not cutting the hedges in April. You tell that to the hedges that are
growing so rapidly that I cannot keep up with them. ;O)
The "customer" wants a tidy site.
