In position for my #BigFarmlandBirdCount. Lots of Chaffinch, plenty of Yellowhammer and a single Brambling were the best of the bunch. Linnets didn't really show up and a Barn Owl seen before my count started. Nice way to start a day! @gwct.org.uk

The 2026 #BigFarmlandBirdCount is now underway and runs until 22nd February 🐦🌾
It’s a fantastic opportunity for landowners and recorders to help monitor how conservation efforts are supporting our farmland bird species.

It's the first day of the @gwct.org.uk's #BigFarmlandBirdCount!
We kicked off with a farm walk this morning, spotting large flocks of finches on AB9 plots and winter cover crops that have seeded. Despite the Baltic conditions, everyone had a good time and enjoyed their well-deserved bacon bap.

Niab staff took part in the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust #BigFarmlandBirdCount this lunchtime on our trial grounds between Cambridge and Histon. We saw 12 species in total, the highlights being plenty of singing skylarks enjoying the spring sunshine and four stonechats.

Just entered the results for our @gwct.org.uk 2025 #BigFarmlandBirdCount.
After 12 years counting we have lots of data from our farm. Not always sure what to make of it, but good fun.
