Tree Removal in Scotter Upsets Residents and Rooks.

From http://www.thisisscunthorpe.co.uk/

Last weeks removal of a number of long established trees on wasteland at the rear of the Gamekeeper pub in Scotter has caused the concern of many local residents.

They are not alone, as the trees, which have been a home for rooks for decades have disappeared, coincides with the return of the rooks for nesting. The rooks find themselves homeless as the birds tend to nest again and again in the same trees, and utilise last year's nests.

Whilst no offence has been committed unless the birds were either in the process of building or eggs were laid, it is still a sad site for anyone who cares about the loss of the habitat of local wildlife and what has become a part of Scotter history and charm albeit that the trees were on privately owned land.
