Winter bird food on arable and horticultural land
This action’s aim is that there are areas of winter bird food that produce a supply of small seeds for smaller farmland birds from late autumn until late winter.
The purpose of this is to:
- provide food resources for farmland birds, especially in late autumn and winter
- encourage flowering plants in the summer, which will benefit insects including bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies and hoverflies
- support an IPM approach if located close to cropped areas
