[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 8117454, member: 4505"] Before everyone gets excited and goes off on one perhaps it would be an idea to have a look at the law which has been carefully drafted after all the above considerations and 'experts' from both sides consulted. Cut-and-pasted from the Wildlife and Countryside Act...... [LIST] [*]All birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law and it is thus an offence, with certain exceptions (see [URL='https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/wildlife-and-the-law/wildlife-and-countryside-act/exceptions/']Exceptions[/URL]), to: [*]Intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built. [*]Intentionally take or destroy the egg of any wild bird. [*][B]It is not illegal to destroy a nest, egg or bird if it can be shown that the act was the incidental result of a lawful operation which could not reasonably have been avoided.[/B] [*] there are more exceptions which you can look up for yourself because I can't be bothered. Back in 1958 I worked in a timber yard. We were not allowed to touch any stack of timber with a nesting bird in it. I rather liked my boss, and his daughter even more!:) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
