Coppice is a crop, it gets harvested and regrows.
As I understood it over the course of my career it’s common to observe the tree/area for a few days to see if anything is indeed nesting. In London it’s not uncommon for arborists to move nests to adjacent trees before felling starts.But yeah, banging a load of trees in a bluebell wood might look extreme if you don’t know all the details...

^ & ^^ I thought it wasn't the done thing to chop trees during nesting season? Looks like a lovely bluebell wood being cleared. Perhaps there's a good reason for it but it is pretty sad looking space from that picture.
