The breeding season has already started for some species and we need to avoid disturbing birds near their breeding sites. This is particularly important for scarce breeding species. For species listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act it is an offence intentionally to disturb them at an active nest site.

It is inadvisable to share information of breeding locations and we should be avoided posting information or photographs of sensitive species online or though Social Media.

All birder and photographers are reminded to follow the birdwatchers code:
