Read it. Cobblers. Streak of piss admits criminal offence on a public forum ( from which I hope it is automatically banned from @Moderators )
It does explain why there are endangered species out there through sheer ignorance.

Well, they are officially pests, and you can shoot them without a special licence if they are doing damage to your property.

But he only came to us after he had already destroyed the nests.

[QUOTE 4869139, member: 76"]The point is that not knowing a law exists does not mean you can't break it.
If you drive at 50 in a 30, you have no defence by saying "I didn't know the speed limit". If you destroy a birds nest you have no defence by saying 'I didn't know I should not have done it"[/QUOTE]
Come off it. You have to pass tests to drive on the bloody road which includes speed limits.
I never said it's not defensible if you didn't know about the law.
PS,
The use of double negatives really does confuse statements, or is that intentional

Jealous. 10 years ago we had 11 nests (which contributed to our decision to buy the house), now we have none
I loved lying in bed listening to their chattering.

Right everybody, I had had a few when the original post went up and exaggerated a few points. There is ONE nest under the apex of the roof, and there has only ever been one. Not knowing what it was I gave it a quick squirt with the hose when I was gardening a good while ago. I have destroyed NOTHING, and the birds are there thriving - there were 3 in there when I left this morning. Now I know what I think they are then that`s great. Can we leave it here please, I`ve had enough of the scaremongering and the bullying here. I made one genuine mistake, now done my research, and all is fine
