Hedge Cutting
Every year I write to our local council, pleading with them not to cut the hedgrows in our village until the young birds have fledged.
Lo and behold, this falls on deaf ears... and every year they cut them in the breeding season!! I'm sure they could wait till September or even cut them in February, as whole clutches are wiped out or the adults are scared away!!
People ask where the Bullfinches have gone? Shame there are not more conservationists in council offices!!
