FarmlandBirdAidNetwork

We promote the increase of farmland bird populations by working with local communities and landowners, through supplementary feeding and habitat restoration.

Local farmland birds are lucky to have ACE local farmers: A 3-year FiPL funded project has scaled up the area’s winter supplementary feeding of farmland birds. 40+ farms now help these farmland birds that have been in such trouble recently. https://t.co/qvG2W229If

Would be great to see photographs.... #hedges #birdlife #countryside #autumn

Linnet numbers have dropped significantly over the past few decades, with the UK population estimated to have fallen by 57% between 1970 and 2014.

Have you ever seen a Yellowhammer?

Their song sounds like they're singing ‘a little bit of bread and no cheeeeeese!’.

Red listed – between 1970 and 2018, the UK population fell by 60%.

while many birds migrate for the winter months, many farmland birds arrive or stay here all year round.

What do they eat during the winter? How do they survive?

Are they endangered in Britain or are they thriving?

Wildlife corridors, pantries, shelter, home... - hedgerows are a big part of farmland birds' lives. As Autumn sets in, hedgerows are bursting with berries.

Have you got any hawthorn hedges near you?
Have you seen any birds pottering around them?

Hedgerows are bursting as we head into Autumn 🍂

[Sally-Ann Spence FRES FLS @SallyAnn_Spence]

“Laying a hedge makes it immortal which is crucially important. Hedges are robust.
We have 400 thousand miles of hedgerows we can turn into ecological gold without impeding on our productive farm land.” @FavColour_Green speaking about the potential of our hedgerows at #Hedgefest24

Early evening walk through the hedgerows

[BBO Wildlife Trust @BBOWT]

📋 We delivered a hedge surveying workshop with a fantastic group of volunteers alongside @WildOxfordshire as part of our RBOR partnership project!

A classroom session covered how to manage and survey hedgerows, followed by putting into practice what we'd learned at Meadow Farm.

[FarmlandBirdAidNetwork @FarmlandBirds]

September has brought autumn with it quickly and the hedges are full of berries. Do the hedges near you have any of these plants?

These guides are useful if you're wondering what is what.
