A couple of posts from the discussion mentioned in the What Birds.... thread.
The musicians need to be careful not to fall foul of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, whereby it is an offence intentionally or recklessly to disturb nesting or nest-building birds. The reason birds sing in spring is to attract mates and protect their nests and territory, so, given Nightingales' skulking behaviour (they sing from within cover and are not easily seen), there must be a real danger of disturbance here, unless the musicians keep a respectful distance.
It just gets worse. "the nightingales, who gather there to sing at night each Spring"...they don't "gather" there , what do they think this is, a lek?Last edited by doversoul1; 03-05-18, 18:31.
