Soon these pink, white and bluebells in a small copse will be ripped up to make way for new housing.  Snowdrops and other wild flowers too will go as will the trees meaning the birds will lose their perches for singing their hearts out at dawn and in the evening.
Extra The small copse lies behind the stable and bothy which have now been demolished.  The stable has not been used for a while but most likely housed the carthorses until tractors became the norm in the mid 20th century and the bothy which was built in the early 19th century to house farm workers still contained the cast iron range. I think that some of the old slates were kept as there are some stored in one of the sheds that will remain.  Now there is an empty space.
The first photo was taken several months ago, with the second during the February snow and then demolition started shortly after with all the rubble cleared away from that location now. The farm was recorded in 1786 on one of the old maps and most probably was there long before but such is the demand for housing that prime agricultural land is being developed and many of the fields round about are no more.
