Hi all,
Anyone offer any advice on the above.
The bastards have knocked out one of the panels at front of my house, there is a nest in there, dont know if its in use and also dont know what type of bird is using it (if any).
Anyone know of anyone to contact to A) get rid of the nest B) replace the panel C) if a not an option, some good poison and ill get rid of the feckers myself.
Cheers

You can't touch it until it's empty.
I had to stop ripping out a hedge to replace with a fence last summer due to Blackbirds. I had to wait two months.
Try and find out which birds are in there and work around them.

it might be House martins, does the nest look like a caravan(of love)? If so it took a lot to ba ba ba ba build and you just leave it alone and nip the pub while its happy hour again and again and again.

from the RSPB site:
A general licence, issued by the government, allows ‘authorised persons’ to kill or take roof-nesting feral pigeons in Britain, and house sparrows, starlings and feral pigeons in Northern Ireland, and destroy their nests, but only if it can be shown that action was necessary for the purpose of preserving public health.
You should always avoid roofing work if you know birds are nesting there, but sometimes a roof nest is only discovered during renovation work. If this happens and the roof cannot be left until the young have flown, you can make an artificial nest box for a starling or sparrow quickly and simply by cutting a four-litre ice cream tub.
Cut an entrance close to the top of one long side (diameter 32 mm for house sparrow and 45 mm for starling), and roughen the surface below the entrance hole to give the birds some grip. On the opposite side, make two small holes about 25 mm (1 inch) down and 75 mm (3 inches) apart. Thread string through for fixing, and make two small drainage holes in the bottom. Place the nest together with eggs or young into the box. Close the box, leaving the side hole as the only entry.
Fix the box as near as possible to the original site. The parents will usually find their young and continue to look after them in the new location.
don't see the problem myself, they're fucking birds.not even as if they're cute and cuddly or anything, fuck 'em.....

All birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law, with few exceptions, it is an offence to move, destroy etc. or have in your possession birds or eggs, each offence, 1 nest or 1 egg is an offence, can be up to a £5000 fine and up to 6 months imprisonment, don't touch it until the end of September. RSPB member Love the sound of young house martins in the nest outside the bedroom window early in the mornings, they shit down the windows a bit but keep the flies and bugs numbers down

If they've knocked out a panel, starlings or woodpeckers, or just a badly maintained house
