Protected Species Surveys > Breeding Birds
All British birds' nests and their eggs are protected from damage and destruction under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended. In addition, some birds have additional protection through their inclusion on Schedule One of the act which also make it illegal to disturb these birds whilst building a nest and /or whilst incubating their eggs and rearing their young. It Is therefore important that any development activities likely to affect nesting birds should be designed around the avoidance of adversely affecting breeding birds.
