Netting to be replaced due to birds destroying it
The netting of a Grade II-listed building will be replaced after it was destroyed by the same birds it was meant to deter. Westmorland and Furness Council approved the application for a property in Barrow's Duke Street. According to documents, new protection was needed after bird "attacks" left the existing netting holed and frayed. "These birds create a nuisance to the building occupiers and create mess and dirt on facade of the building," the application said. It said the barrier aimed to keep birds from nesting on the elevations of the structure or landing on the ledges and cornices. The building dates back to 1873 and sits within the Central Barrow Conservation Area, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. Follow BBC Cumbria on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.

Auckland bird hospital wants public light displays dimmed
A native bird hospital in Auckland wants large public light displays such as the Harbour Bridge and Sky Tower to be dimmed on cloudy nights to help prevent birds from becoming grounded. BirdCare Aotearoa cares for hundreds of injured and grounded seabirds each autumn, disorientated by city lights. The charity said although light pollution comes from across the city, large bright LED displays are a particular problem. Kate Newton reports.
