you get a similar bird with different markings, this is a european robin
lol they do like to nest in cheeky places, there was one nesting in a flower pot at a garden centre where my mum worked.

Yah, Yah. Cute. But as the victim of a herd of pigeons in my garage and a family full of men too lazy to care I feel you may not be pleased with the little bugger in about a month.

Yep, bats are a protected species so you are not allowed to eject them from your property and have to wait until they decide to move on of their own accord.

A friends parents had them in the eaves of their house and only discovered them when they wanted to replace the wooden facia boards that were rotting away. They ended up waiting two years before the bats moved on and they could repair the roof/facia boards.

They were lucky.
Friend of mine got planning permission to convert an Old Barn into a house. Bats moved in before work could start.
Ten years on and they are still there.

From what I have heard even rescue centres etc are not allowed to move them.

if they are in danger then yes, they can be moved. (smoke pellets work as well, just don\'t get caught doing it!)
