Supplementary Winter Bird Food

AB12 Supplementary Winter Bird Food Countryside Stewardship

AHW2 Supplementary Winter Bird Food Sustainable Farming Incentive

The Supplementary winter bird food is designed to provide important food resources for farmland birds in late winter and early spring on arable and mixed farms, by supplementing crops of winter bird food with additional seed, such as cereal, oilseed and specialised grains. It gives the birds food through the late winter period when seed is in short supply (known as the hungry gap) and as they enter the breeding season.

This will usually start from early December until end April (about 20 weeks), scattering 25kilos a week split between two feeding stations every 2ha.

We offer a range of options from “ready to use” to “farmer add his own cereals”, these options will encourage populations of Yellow Hammer, Grey Partridge, Tree Sparrow, Corn Bunting, and Linnet.
