Ty Penningtons UK thingy
 
Watching this last night, sort of a Challenge Anneka show. In this series
they are attempting to renovate a lido for the local community.

Work on the new entrance came to a complete halt - because they found a
wagtails nest c/w eggs in the roof.

WTF is wrong with this country? Apparently its against the law to move the
nest so a project for the benefit of people is held up because of a 'kin
bird?

The mind boggles...

I'd have accidentally 'lost' a few cats nearby...

At least the Wagtails will hatch and bugger off. Just suppose they had
found Bats in residence!

At least it was not bats or dormice.

The wagtail will be gone soon.
