to put the birch into context the harvesting contractor had left tree on interface with remaining woodland, only chestnut coppice stools remain to hopefully regrow in what will be replanted area,  oak another site

Here’s an old oak at the back end of our wood,always good for a picture on a nice day,its also home to a pair of Tawny Owls and this year it was home to a pair of woodpeckers aswell,along with a whole load of other wildlife I’m sure
