Have a look on the nfu website. As far as I am aware there aren't really many laws but the nfu issue guidlines. Maybe worth having a word with the farmer? On a good neighbourly basis ... And definetly contact the council to get a noise complaint lodged ...

I dont know which farm it is, it could possibly be Broomfield college, I dont mind it starting at 6ish but 5 is just too early. Thanks i might ring the council.

good call i googled bird scarer legislation and found this....

On hours of use the full Code actually recommends that farmers: "Avoid using scarers within at least 200m (220 yards) of sensitive buildings before 7.00 am, or before 6.00 am elsewhere, when sunrise is earlier. Use another method in the early morning."

As regards the difficulty of locating the owner of a scarer the Code urges farmers: "Ensure that your neighbours have the name of a responsible person to contact if the control on a scarer fails, and that his/her name and telephone number are displayed at the nearest point of public access."

So know i need to locate it!!
