Wendover, UK. 28th April, 2021. Security guards stand behind fencing as tree surgeons fell trees for the HS2 high-speed rail link in ancient woodland at Jones Hill Wood in the Chilterns AONB. Felling of the woodland which contains resting places and/or breeding sites for pipistrelle, barbastelle, noctule, brown long-eared and natterer's bats has recommenced after a High Court judge yesterday refused campaigner Mark Keir permission to apply for judicial review and lifted an injunction on felling.
