Working Together

If you discover a nest:

1. Leave the nest undisturbed, setting the area aside for them to remain there.

2. If it helps, add flags so the nest is easliy identified.

3. If you need to create a bigger enclosure, use haybales to build a makeshift nest. This is a very simple way to allow birds to nest without interference.

If the nest has accidently been destroyed:

1. Respectfully relocate the nest next to a fence for the Harriers to find it and rebuild it.
