Tree Preservation in Quarry

A few days ago when passing through Vallis Alley I noticed that somebody had
chopped down a large, mature tree in the sports field there. Why? Who made this
decision? On what grounds? as anybody alerted?
I sent a message to this forum but it doesn't seem to have appeared.
Since then, I have made some more enquiries and I am told that it is actually
illegal to cut down trees in the Spring if they have nests in them. This tree
certainly did have a nest in it, as it was quite large and well-established. So
why was it cut down?
I do not have the ornithological expertise of certain other members of the
forum, but I know a bird's nest when I see one.
If this was an illegal act, somebody ought to be prosecuted for it.
I am getting more and more worried about the random destruction of trees that
is absolutely rife in this city - and fed up of the empty promises and
greenwash of the Labour-dominated city council.
