| Re: Starling Roosts & the Law - Help!
It may not be a native species... but round here any species is welcomed by the wildlife! It would be a shame to lose it as it is used as a roost by sparrows and starlings all year round and has been for several years. I think it's just the large numbers (1000's) that are putting the neighbours off! Shame they can't appreciate them as a "natural wonder" on their doorstep! One idea is that they have come slightly inland as they have a large roost at Poole on the harbour (we are a bit more sheltered in Corfe Mullen). I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on (can't be much fun being holed up with several 1000 other birds in a small place!)
I'm going to contact Dorset WT to see what they think, but any other ideas welcome.
