Recently there was a patch of trees felled without warning.

It's nesting season, so it's very dangerous for the birds to destroy their trees. I've already seen woodpigeons mating in the nearby area about a month ago. I've seen birds such as woodpigeons, magpies, great tits, blue tits and a sparrowhawk in the area that's been felled (as well as robins, long-tailed tits, coal tits, blackbirds, goldfinches and house sparrows nearby). I have also heard a Jay nearby before, and one Facebook commenter has said there are nesting Jays. Additionally, it looks horrible - there used to be beautiful trees, and now there's just a thin strip of trees along the footpath, as well as a horrid big hole next to the car park. Our green spaces need more protection.

According to two councillor's Facebook posts, the Forestry Commission are investigating due to no felling licence or planning permission. They have served a Stop Notice. The matter has been raised with the wildlife crime team due to disturbance to nesting birds. The area has been allocated for development, but the felling has had insufficient regard for the environmental impact.

Developers will often illegally fell trees, then take the fine and build houses since it's already been destroyed. However, they could now be issued a restocking order, and would have to replant the trees.

I've seen two messages on the gate to the site protesting this, so I made this piece. If there's public uproar it could hopefully make them think twice next time, even if it doesn't save this one.

Me: In Mary Poppins (1964), during the song 'A Spoonful of Sugar', Mary interacts with, and sings about, a robin. The film is set in the UK where robins are European robins (Erithacus rubecula), passerine birds in the Family Muscicapidae (i.e Old World Flycatchers), the kind that always show up on Xmas cards in the UK. However, the two robins in the scene are very obviously based off American robins (Turdus migratorius), passerine birds in the Family Turdidae (i.e thrushes), and a species much more closely related to the common/Eurasian blackbird than a European robin. Whilst it's not entirely unknown for American robin's to venture to the UK, any that do are nearly always rare vagrants and certainly wouldn't be "feathering a nest". Worker: ... Worker: Ma'am, this is a Greggs.
