Two years ago we planted a mixed deciduous hedge to support the
wildlife: this included hawthorn, blackthorn, guelder rose, dog rose,
hazel and field maple, and has done amazingly well, reaching 8ft high
in parts and flowering and producing many berries for the birds. We
have been thrilled with its progress.

snip He has now planted a leylandii hedge all
along the other side of this boundary.

Why not think positive? Leylandii is a good nesting place for several
species of birds.
