The local livestock farmer has removed two full hedgerows from the flats, no doubt so he can drive round to check his cows. These hedgerows were a good shelter and feeding belt for migrating birds. What gives him the right to remove all this habitat when it's on the flats and not on land that he rents ?
and he then dumps it all on the flats and sets fire to it, totally covering the site in acrid smoke. Not happy with that, he has taken out all the roadside bushes from Walcot Road and they will, no doubt, be brought down onto the flats to burn. He doesn't do the burning on the land he rents, but on council/Natural England land. Makes my blood boil.
North Lincolnshire Council are no better......in the middle of this willow there is a bird hide that is impossible to get to as the gate is now covered in overgrown tree. If you could get in there the view from the window would be one of 6 foot reeds. What a total waste of money.... I won't tell you how much the hide cost !
