Does anyone know of a suitable food/seed for ground feeders?
This winter I will be watching part of a local minor river valley,in the past the adjoining farmland has produced some localy scarce birds like tree sparrow,
brambling and linnet flocks.
Not being able to establish any kind of regular feeding stations, i'm thinking of laying down some ground seed etc? on bare patches in the set aside field.
Hopefully this may replicate conditions two years ago when a large amount of
seed/grain was spilt by the farmer,this resulted in a feeding frenzy by the
winter flocks of sparrows,linnets,yellow hammers etc.
My idea is to lay some food down in the late evening and visit the area early next morning to record the ''goodies''.Anyone else tried this?
