mrpip Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Anyone come across this before woodies nesting inside units etc, I work on Power Stations around the north. This year woodies have nested in the stores & workshop at one station. Urbanised woodies taking the next step & becoming industrilous, caused quite a stir when the storeman put an hazard card in because of the mess they were leaving. These are definetly wood pigeon not ferals though most stations have plenty of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stace1g Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 loads of bunny's at cottam on the nature reserve and around the station. pigeon number seem down though. they used to have a guy with a brid of prey come regular to get rid of them but not seen him for a while. They will not let anyone else bar pest control firms handle the problem though. Seems they prefer to pay through the nose rather than get it done for free.
