Hi can anyone give me some advice?
Today I looked out and saw the trees at the end of my garden being cut. I have a robin nesting in a box on the end of my greenhouse right next to where they were cutting with chainsaws and also a blue tit nesting in one of the trees being cut - the man was practically standing on the box and cut the tree right down as far as the nestbox!!! Are they allowed to do this? I spoke to one of the men who said they were cutting them down because they were getting close to the telephone cables overhead, but they cut them down by at least 8ft. When I told the man about the birds nesting they just laughed and said "oh dont worry, they will come back". The noise was awful and there were branches falling onto the box where the robin is nesting. They said they are coming back in 2 weeks time to cut a large conifer which is growing directly infront of the robins nest box. I didnt think trees etc should be cut whilst birds are nesting.
Please can anyone advise me? Is there anything I can do or anyone I can complain to about this?
Thanks, Sally.
