I've got about 20ft of leylandii 'hedge' that I pruned from 20 ft high to
12 ft 20 odd years ago. I also thinned it, so people could actually walk on the pavement.
Never had a nest in it!!! (mind you, my 3 cats may have something to do with it - but they never climb the leylandii)

Just enjoy the light! :-D

Just like to add that I have hedgehogs that wander through my garden and an ever increasing population of slow worms, so it's not as though my garden is wildlife unfriendly.

It is probably too late for nests so they only need a twig where they can tuck their heads under their wings.

I have to agree with Elizabeth about being surprised he didn't just prune it back.

Dear Mr Harry

Hello

Hope you are okay.


I am surprised that this neighbour did not have the tree pruned
instead of taken away.

Around here, the local council do their best to preserve trees.


You are not a Pl*****! Lanuguage, Mr H!

I love seeing our feathered friends.


Recently, a tiny bird sat on the window ledge and was chirping away.

He looked straight at me and then decided to venture
in through the lace curtain!

I gently persuaded him he should return to his nest.

Lovely moment.

Our wildlife and pets are so precious.


Take gentle care of yourself, <3
Very best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

My neighbour has a great big cupressus lawsonia, which for years has put a fair part of my garden in the shade. A monstrosity of a tree.

Today he has had men in to take it down. I should be over the moon but I can;t help thinking of all the birds who made it their home. Our feathered friends have it hard these days.

I admit to being a plonker.

Happy days

Too many people over-value what they are not,, and under value what they are.
