For the Birds?


There seems to be quite an aversion developing to the use of nets around trees by house builders (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/apr/05/use-of-netting-to-stop-birds-nesting-before-housebuilding-rebuked). The nets are put in place to spot the birds nesting because, otherwise, they might have to delay tree removal until the breeding period has finished. It has unfortunately been noted that small birds can become trapped, with fatal consequences, in the nets. Given the profits of house builders, I think that delays should be fully accommodated.
