Limagrain UK game cover and forage crop trials on the farm of Mr W Booth near brant broughton
1 Yellow Wagtail 3 Grey Partridges 20+ Reed Buntings in plots of millet which were shedding seed 12 Tree Sparrows 6 Linnets 4 Greenfinches 6 Chaffinches 10 Goldfinches 2 Yellowhammers 10+ Skylarks 8 Meadow Pipits Dunnocks Robins Long-tailed Tits Blue Tits Woodpigeons CarrionCrows Rooks Jackdaws Magpie 100+ Starlings B.H. Gulls
I expect bird numbers to build further as more of the game cover plants start to shed seed.
Lots of badger footprints and damage in the plots, particularly in the maixe where the cobs had been stripped.
