DOGS ON LEADS PLEASE! It's well into bird nesting season and many birds nest on the ground! Your dog does not know BUT you do! #Dogsonleads

Yes! It's #bird #nesting season. Please avoid disturbing birds and their chicks over Spring and Summer. They might even have a second brood, so leave hedge and tree pruning until September. #gardenwildlife #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife

@robsonpeisley.bsky.social Two pairs of wren and a blackbird pair now nesting in the garden. Perhaps worth posting a reminder for #Brighton people to avoid hedge and tree pruning until Autumn. #gardenwildlife
