Detail description
This poster provides a concise visual guide for arable farmers to make their fields nature-inclusive for skylarks and other bird species during summer. It outlines 13 practical measures, including maintaining wildflower strips, creating beetle banks, establishing bird-friendly arable strips, adopting extensive crop rotations, leaving land fallow, reducing pesticide use, and using drones for monitoring. The focus is on supporting breeding birds, enhancing habitat diversity, and avoiding disturbance during chick fledging.
