What to do?
Last year we had 17 house martin nests all around our house - they are still there. But this year we have to have some repairs done to the corner overhangs and the soffits and fascias need painting. Do I knock the old nests off before the house martins come back or do I paint round them? The house is so high we need to put scaffolding up.....
I do enjoy watching them and last year some of them had 2 broods. The RSPCA say it is illegal to interfere with nesting birds but you can remove the nests when the birds have gone.
I want to make it easier for them to come back so will just knock downm the ones that interfere with the repair work, but keep the rest.
