I don't know how long your "few years" is Moley but if it is over 10ish you will have noticed a massive difference in the landscape with the amount of logging that has gone on.
I used to really like the enchanting darkness of the closeness of the tree's and the coolness on a hot day, but now having got used to the extended views due to the clearing I also like it as it is. There is certainly more birdlife about and on Saturday saw a Jay and a pair of Ravens that I surprised and they seemed to take forever to get their bulk off the ground. And their bill, wow, what a weapon!
