We are lucky enough to have a pair of Black Redstarts present at work all year round.A few weeks ago I saw the male had become trapped in one of our workshops,I opened all the doors and let him out.A couple of weeks later,one of my colleagues told me about a bird nesting in an unrestored vehicle,he asked me to identify it,it was the Redstarts.They have fledged with about 3 young in the last week and now they have gone I looked in the area of the nest and found 2 more older nests.It appears they have been regular users of this vehicle even though it has moved within the workshop.
Can anyone tell me if Black Redstart nests are afforded anymore protection than other species as someone has told me they have to be reported.
I must hasten to add I don't work in Hampshire.
