A friend has a neighbour who insists on knocking down the housemartins' nests on his house as they are trying their best to build them. I understand that it is ok to knock down a nest after the birds have migrated but what are the rules re knocking them down as they are being built? Any advice that I can pass on is much appreciated.
Hi,
I assume the person is knocking the nests down as they are under construction - House Martins often breed right through into October so I suggest putting some house martin boxes up in a more friendly (house eaves) location nearby :)
