Conservation Strip - a photo on Flickriver

Conservation Strip

            A spectral Christmas Eve walk at Ivinghoe Beacon.
Despite knowing this walk so well, there were a couple of moments when I lost my bearings in this blanket of fog.
A lot of the farmers around here introduced 3 metre conservation strips around their fields a number of years ago. The idea is to encourage the return of the many endangered species of farmland birds that declined following the introduction of intensive farming techniques. Certainly it seems to have worked with good populations of Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Yellowhammers  and Corn Buntings at this location. Not that I saw any in this pea souper!
