Two bushes in my garden where blackbirds nest were getting out of control. I checked for any signs of bird activity and proceeded to careful cut the bushes back using a manual lopper checking after each cut that I was not disturbing any of our friends. I heard a chirping above me but there did not seem any bird or nest in bushes.
As I moved away to view my work approximately 8 hedge sparrows flew over my head. They did not seem to come from the bushes but flew into them.They seemed to say go away this is our home.
Half a dozen more sparrows flew across my garden and settled into the apple trees and another bush. The apple trees and other bush are opposite side of garden.
This is all took place this afternoon.
Could anybody explain what was going on please.
Am I allowed to continue to cut back the overgrown bushes or will the sparrows declare war. Any advice much appreciated.Many thanks
