This (via Neatorama) is the sort of thing that happens when people don't read the Times. Flagrant fairy endangerment was reported as far back as November of 2005:
Marcus Salter, head of Genesis Properties, estimates that the small colony of fairies believed to live beneath a rock in St Fillans, Perthshire, has cost him £15,000. His first notice of the residential sensibilities of the netherworld came as his diggers moved on to a site on the outskirts of the village, which crowns the easterly shore of Loch Earn.
He said: “A neighbour came over shouting, ‘Don’t move that rock. You’ll kill the fairies’.”
The entire project had to be redesigned to accommodate the fairies' living arrangements and the unwillingness of the local populace to disturb large rocks or standing stones. Clearly, though, too little too late.
Aren't you posting this a few hours too early?

I have just this minute lost my mind. There are little teeny tiny doors you can put up for fairies? I want an entire wall of those. My mind is still fizzing like an Alka-Seltzer.
