I appreciate not quite bee keeping, this is a new angle, netting trees to stop bird from nesting as they are going to be chopped down as part of a new development. Not convinced.

Two sections of greenbelt by me are being planned to be built on. Local residents are watching to see what goes will happen. They are aware of this netting issue.
(They're kindly swapping our greenbelt which will be built on by extending greenbelt at Saddleworth)
