A haven for farmland birds: The unexpected treasures of a small patch of arable land in the Cambridge green belt

Description:

On the southern fringe of Cambridge lies a group of fields that have become a haven for farmland wildlife, and above all for six iconic birds of the arable countryside. John Meed has studied these fields for over ten years, following the changing seasons and braving the elements in a quest to know the remarkable birds and animals that live there, and to understand what makes the fields so special. In A haven for farmland birds he describes what he has learnt about both the fascinating social lives of these endearing creatures and the ‘sustainable farming business practice’ that helps provide the habitats they need – all in his lucid and ‘transportive’ writing style.
