craigyboy 1,274 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Nice piccie, whats the cause of thier decrease, magpies? Loss of winter food is thought to be a probable cause of the population decline. a survey in 1992/93, showed that weedy stubble fields were by far the most important feeding habitat during the winter. The area of winter stubbles has been greatly reduced in recent decades due to the switch from spring-sown to autumn-sown cereals, the decline in mixed farming and the disappearance of undersowing. In addition, increased herbicide and fertiliser use has reduced the abundance of wildflower seeds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
