#Swindale meadows looking great earlier this week. Evidence of #badgers doing their bioturbation bit too, creating #bareground opportunities for wildflower seeding, invertebrates and feeding birds. #RSPBEcology @WildHaweswater

After providing #bareground nest sites for #Lapwing in April, cover for nesting Yellow Wagtails in May and June, the weedy barley field at @RSPB_BurtonMere is now providing abundant seed food for several hundred Skylarks, Linnets & Reed Buntings. Year round benefit. #RSPBecology
