Wood pigeon chicks.

[Goaty]

Did a leylandii recently. It was a high rise communal establishment of collared doves and wood pigeons. Went 3 times to look. Managed to to time it right I thought, then in the very top was a pair of eggs.

I would never of found them without an MRI scanner. You probably never win with pigeons. Their lives are one big breeding cycle.

I reckon every second day I disturb a nest of turtle doves or more rarely woodys.

 

I'd like to get down and leave them but it's simply not going to happen.

 

How much do you reckon that cost you?

 

We've got a pro rata payment clause in the contract and a section on laws (inc wildlife) to be obeyed. As it is we didn't enforce the pro rata payment clause because the chap has used us before and we'll be back in a few weeks to complete. The other option is killing them and that ain't going to happen either so we wait.
