I'm thinking of putting 2 5ton ratchet straps in to the 2 trees to brace them together lower down now as they are birds of prey I would rather leave them alone

Iv never bin in a place where I may have to take a tree down with a nest in and just wondered what to do and where to go

So any links or info would be great

I will have a look into natural England cheers

Be careful if you temp brace not to leave yourself liable if it fails.

 

Ditto that, if there are no eggs or chicks, and if the tree poses a significant danger, then it would be ok to destroy the nest, keeping natural england informed.

Proving significant danger is important though, as others have said if there are alternatives, i.e. bracing or cordoning the area off these could be explored. Whatever you do keep natural england / local wildlife officer in the loop.
