It is with much regrets that i have to inform the local birdwatching fraternity that while i was away staying at my mothers,recovering from my broken ankle for the last week,some bastard has chopped down the Apple Tree,which hung over the end of my garden,this Apple tree was responsible for feeding around 20 Waxwings last winter and although we didn't have any this winter,it is obvious that any returning birds would of liked this tree in winters to come and the bounty which came with it.This tree has also seen Blue,Great & coal tits in it,Greenfinch,goldfinch & chaffinch,wrens,robins,dunnocks as well as jay,crows and pigeons.I also had a Goldcrest in it last year but sadly none of these birds will be seen in this tree again,because the tree is no longer there.
A dissapointing day for local birders,is anything sacred anymore????
Who's tree was it? Not that it really matters. One of my neighbours cut down their oak tree in May last year, which should be a crime regardless of whether it happens to be on your land. How sad.
ReplyDeleteI believe it was the optomist pubs as they own the land,not sure why they done it.
ReplyDeleteCutting down an Oak tree should be a crime punishable by hanging at a minimum!!!!!
Sorry to hear this Robert. Keep on birding!
ReplyDeleteI obviously meant apple,not Oak!!!
