Birds nesting- what's checks prior to a job?

[hazzygawa]

I have a few jobs coming up but neighbours to where I am working are worried about birds nesting in the conifer hedges I am taking out. What checks should I do or you do prior to a job?

Round here (East Yorkshire) birds have just started pairing up so it wont be long before they are nesting, get started and finished asap.

I`m stringent and demand all work stops as soon as any mammals are nesting in the affected foliage.

Gutted the other week when a squirrels nest was mistaken for being un-occupied but 3 young `uns were re-situated un-harmed in the nearby animal sanctuary so all was well again.

Nature always comes before pounds shilling and pence

Good to see a caring ethic chaps

I do quite a bit of work for the local Wildlife Trust. We never have problems with nests...we leave fell's or work round them with reductions etc. That said, this year they've decided to stop cutting between april - october...thats going to be a pain...

I daresay you'll get some stick, but it did make me laugh.

Set up for an hour before hand making note of what species of bird are going in and with what. I.e. Woodpigeon, Twigs. 0832,etc,etc

We were supposed to take down a big line this morning but had to postpone due to 9 nests up top. The customer wasn't too happy but I wasn't gonna go and get rid of the nests.
