100% AK, You Dinna half talk some pish.
The birds will just move to another field, doubtful they nest in the proposed location anyhow, given that it is regularly used by a heard of dairy cattle.
You need to remember, or he told, as you are probably not old enough to remember, that this is the site of an inert waste dump, no one bothered or moaned about that back in the day. And the birds didn't disappear from the area then !!! It's hardly "Greenfield" if you scratch the surface !!
As for children standing, crying at the sight of a stag moving out of its "home" in the middle of an open field !!! What a load of fucking shite.
