While trees and scrub are likely to contain nesting birds between 1st March and 31st August inclusive buildings can also support nesting birds. If works occur during the nesting period a careful check of the building by a competent ecologist should be undertaken to assess the nesting bird activity on the site during this period and has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present.
