Letter: The first cuckoo to build a nest

Sir: In your article a Highways Agency spokesman is reported as saying "we have various wildlife patrols who check the whole of the habitat to check there is no wildlife in the area that shouldn't be there."

You can probably imagine the security guards shouting at the sparrows - "Oy! Can't you read? That tree is out of bounds!"
