When do birds fly south for the winter?

I am renovating my rotten fascia boards and there is a birds nest in
one corner.
What is the best time to evict the birds?

They'll leave as soon as the chicks can fly, I'd be surprised if there were
any still in there unless they're swifts. If they are swifts PLEASE let them
be, they're getting fewer and fewer. It won't be long before they go. The
adults won't continue to occupy the nest.

Also, make sure you leave access to the roof for next year if possible. One
of the easons for the reduction ofbirds is the lack of nesting sites because
of different ways of building houses.

I don't want the deaths of some young chicks on my conscience!

I hope you don't have that.
