Within CropMix, field birds are a standard topic in the bird inventories of the field assistants on all participating arable farms. They are also addressed more specifically in Rik Waenink's PhD research.

During the farmers' meeting on the 10th of July at Proeftuin Van Pallandtpolder Rik discussed the initial results of his research. Do more arable birds breed on strip crops? Which crops do they prefer to gather food in? And what is important for birds in winter? He discusses the answers to these and tips for arable farmers in this short video.
