Hi
for a diamond shaped rooF starling nested in the soffit last year. I got the ridge tiles repointed - I think they got in that way. The back corner I and going to attempt to remove the debris but can only get in internally. However on inspection it seems quite inaccessible and hard to navigate the corner I was thinking if I Mcgyver’d the hetty hose via a chimney rod would this work?
