Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust's summary of their paper on how yellowhammers use conservation management areas on farmland. Key points; Yellowhammers prefer to select territories with access to field margins that are enhanced with flowers and legumes; The presence of song posts and cut hedges is also preferred, but woodland is avoided; Chick-food insects were more numerous in grass margins and enhanced margins than the other habitat types; As enhanced margins contain higher plant diversity, they may support chick food species for longer periods of the year than other habitats.
