I was surprised to see a local walnut tree has been sawn to within a metre of the ground. The area looks barren now but there are plenty of seedlings sprouting in the hedgerows. This locality has lost three mature trees, an ash that collapsed in old age and a prunus of some sort, that beautified the view from my window, during the past year. The area remains woody enough for a rookery, lots of pigeons though and a skylark rose out of the soggy mottled mat of weeds and sang while soaring above the common.
