Photography of birds in Britain is restricted by law if it involves disturbance of rare breeding birds.
Crows and several other species of bird can be killed by authorised persons only to protect livestock and crops.
All wild birds' nests are fully protected and it is an offence to destroy them whilst they are in use or being built.
It is an offence to collect or possess wild birds' eggs, unless you are a landowner with permission to take eggs of a few 'pest' species.
N.B. During the breeding season, birds nest on the beach above the high water mark. Some of these birds are listed in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means it is an offence to disturb them at any time. Please keep away from the high water mark between April and June.
