    Thanks for posting this up Gary. It's disappointing to see so many owners and gardeners ignoring the nesting season. As a rule I won't cut hedges now until August/September.

      Reading Gary's link, it s ok to cut "domestic" hedges providing you first check  that there are no birds nesting in them. I prefer to keep hedges, particularly privet, regularly trimmed throughout the growing season and its very rare for me to find a nest.

    In reality the EA are on the whole quite reasonable on this - Domestic hedges are fine on the whole, obviously if their is an OBVIOUS nest in, its illigal but otherwise common sense and normal due diligence will suffice.
