A beautiful and healthy 400 year old oak tree near my house was mysteriously assessed as “dying” and cut down after surveyors said it was thriving

probably a coincidence that the landowner wants to let a local football club pave over the site but couldn’t bc of the tree

the funny thing is there are some birds in this book, like the shrike, where the illustrator has clearly fallen back on a fictionalised version of what the bird looks like in his mind's eye.

but the woodcock is just pure 100% real woodcock. he really let the spirit of the woodcock possess him
