Charity plea to not disturb nesting birds and mammals

An animal charity is asking people not to disturb nesting birds and mammals this summer.

The ManxSPCA is making the request after a lot of young birds, hedgehogs and rabbits have arrived at its headquarters.

It says all nesting birds, their eggs and nests are legally protected from disturbance, damage and destruction. 

To help, you should avoid trimming trees and hedges durning the nesting season.
