I am seeking advice from bird protection at the Moment but Bromley council have destroyed 2 moorhen nests along the old Croydon canal in Betts Park Anerley . 1 . why would they not leave the 2 sections uncut until the chicks had fledged 2. Why would they not cut this shrubs away after the hens and ducts nesting time maybe autumn . Is this legal ?
