Bird Disturbance

With migrants now arriving and the breeding season underway, we would like to remind everyone that it is an offence to disturb any breeding birds. We understand that contributors to, or readers of this site would not deliberately disturb any wildlife. We would however remind contributors that, during the breeding season, we will not post any pictures of birds that appear to be at or near a breeding site, we also will not post pictures of birds that appear to be displaying or birds carrying nesting material or food. We will also not report raptor sightings during this period. This policy is designed to help protect all of our birds during what is a stressful and difficult time for them. As always, if anyone suspects a wildlife crime including wilful disturbance, this can be reported to the PSNI at 101.
