As we head into the final stretch of bird nesting season, now is the time for landowners, housing associations, property managers, and homeowners to start planning. While the law remains clear that nesting birds must not be disturbed, that doesn’t mean you have to wait around. In fact, acting now is the smartest move you can make.

At Beechwood Trees and Landscapes, we offer free quotes and tailored advice to help you get ready for the season ahead. With demand expected to surge as nesting season comes to an end, early preparation ensures you don’t get caught in the queue.

A Quick Reminder: What Is Nesting Season?

In the UK, bird nesting season typically runs from February through August, with peak activity between March and July. During this period, it’s a legal requirement under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to avoid disturbing nesting birds.

If you’re looking to learn more about nesting birds, then take a look at our blog on pre-nesting bird season and what is safe and legal to do when you have nesting birds on site.
