Should netting/ringing be carried out during nesting season?  I know it's later but many birds are still nesting. Don't birds find it distressing being caught in the nets at the best of times.
Why worry it may never happen?
If it has already happened why worry?
Because it's too late to do anything about it,
So Why Worry?

It is very important that some ringing is undertaken throughout the breeding season.

Hopefully this will explain things a little better
