A poster guide to bird nesting season

All about the nesting season.

The nesting season runs from March to August, but some birds nest earlier/later.

Birds may be nesting in your trees, shrubs, ivy, hedges, nest boxes, under eaves and on the roof.

Do not cut back hedges, trees, and other vegetation during nesting season; this risks disturbing nests.

Nests are often well-hidden, so you might not know they are there.

All wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law – this includes gulls, pigeons and crows.

Trim hedges once a year in winter if needed – this gives wildlife the chance to eat any wild berries.
