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... -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
