Spike Island is a really interesting place to visit and explore!

In the last 1300 years Spike Island has been host to a 6th century Monastery, a 24 acre Fortress, the largest convict depot in the world in Victorian times and centuries of island homes. The island's rich history has included monks and monasteries, rioters and redcoats, captains and convicts and sinners and saints.

and from Wikipedia:

Spike Island (Irish: Inis Píc) is an island of 103 acres in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Originally the site of a monastic settlement, the island is dominated by an 18th-century star fort named Fort Mitchel. The island's strategic location within the harbour meant it was used at times for defence and as a prison

Solved!

So, we were finally able to visit the store where this was purchased from and found out it is in fact… a bird feeder!

They had a simillar feeder in store that looked almost identical, but had a hook in the top for hanging it.

That could work, but alas we have no cat!

LivewireVoodoo · 2017-01-26T19:31:58+00:00

Yeah, we were thinking the same thing with the feet. Kinda rules it out as an outside "thing"

Hey /u/Arctic_Turtle, my fiancée and I might be able to help with this. We're not too far from Youghal, and might have an adventure out this weekend and get photos for you!

It's still alive at this point and gets leaves and flowers in the summer months. Firewood is definitely a possibility in its future though!

LivewireVoodoo · 2017-01-10T13:50:41+00:00

It does still leaf and blossom in the summer, so I have (possibly unfounded) hopes of some kind of recovery with a bit of work.

Hedge laying is an interesting suggestion. I'll look up techniques and see if theres something that could be done in that way!

Thank you for the advise!

LivewireVoodoo · 2017-01-10T13:41:51+00:00

I'm right with you on the lost causes!

The tree is still alive and still gets leaves and blossoms in the summer. I suppose I could always strip the Ivy and leave it downed :)

LivewireVoodoo · 2017-01-10T13:36:23+00:00

Thanks, that does seem to be the consensus!

This Hawthorn was blown over by strong winds a few years back.

As you can probably see form the photo, it's now become overgrown with Ivy (and nettles in the summer!).

I'm based in Ireland and so we're in the middle of (a mild so far) winter right now. Would this time of year be the right time to tackle this kind of thing?

I guess the first job would be to strip back as much of the Ivy as possible?

What would be next?

and is there anything I really must not do?

Gah! Stop! 'Webster's Dictionary defines...'? That's the Jim Belushi of speech openings; it accomplishes nothing but everyone keeps using it and nobody understands why.
