Letter: Kings Pond's willow tits have not returned since tree felling

Regarding the continuing issue at Kings Pond in Alton, the tree felling saw off the willow tit colony, and they have not returned.

I used to see them all year round in one particular area. 

If we do not protect our trees – and even more importantly in the case of willow tits, our scrub – then we will lose more of these birds and subsequently biodiversity. 

Even more tree felling has taken place lately and the pond is becoming a cold, windswept, desolate and bleak place – we do not go there much any more. 

I assume the birds were willow tits – even if they were the even rarer marsh tit – it seems no-one would care about their loss.
