Roadside hedgerows.......
I am not a farmer, nor a council worker so please can anyone help me understand the crazy times of year they seem to choose to trim back the hedges.
On my way home I found they had slashed back lengths of the hedgerow beside the roads.
what makes it hard to understand is the loss of all those berries that the birds need in order to survive the winter! (unhappy Mrs HF)
Could they not do this job the winter after berries, before nesting???????
Am I missing something here?
