Post subject:  Yellow Wagtail and others at Brant Broughton
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.
