We all have things on our to-do lists that get left till it's too late. Thanks for the info anyway. Much as I like to think I keep up with environmental affairs, I was unaware of this. I wonder what makes them colonise in urban areas and choose to nest in concrete rather than treetops or cliffs. You're right, we just don't know what we've got till it's gone. Can you imagine a world without the birdsong? We might not always be aware of their singing but it would be utterly dull without it. Don’t feel bad Pete.
