About the Event
Join us on the morning of the 11th December for some light refreshments and a biscuit before we head out on a farm walk with Matty. It is an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about supplementary bird feeding, with practical demonstrations and information on seed mixes.
Ornithologist Dr James Kempton from Oxford University will give some pre-season motivation, reflecting on last year's results, and anecdotes in the field as we look for some of the benefiting birds.
Also at the event, Tom Hall our resident Catchment Sensitive Farming Advisor, will be able to tell us about ways to be paid for supplementary bird feeding through SFI. This farm walk invitation is extended to members of both the North East Cotswold Farmer Cluster and Cherwell Farmers Group.
