“The UK yellowhammer population has declined by 61% since 1967. The main factor is low overwinter survival, probably because fewer seed food sources are available to them on farmland.” ~ RSPB

Yellowhammer chicks depend largely on insects for food. Adults also feed on insects in the breeding season. Wide margins around arable fields provide many insects as well as nesting habitat. A variety of field margins including flower-rich margins will provide habitat for a wider range of insects.

As show in photos attached we also sowed this flower-rich margin around the cover crop ***NEW FOR 2025*** Cornfield Annual Wildflower Seed 100% – Wild Wales Seeds

We will count the numbers we have now (along with other farmland bird species), and monitor any changes. This work will further shape the help and management we want to provide.
