Irlands Feldlerchen verschwanden, aber diese einfache Lösung könnte ihren Gesang zurückbringen

> In Germany, researchers discovered an elegant intervention: “skylark plots”, bare patches of roughly 16 square meters left in cereal fields, spaced two to four per hectare. The birds use the bare ground to land and move into the crop, where tall vegetation provides nesting cover. The result? Skylark densities increased by 15 per cent. The solution was cheap and simple. Most importantly, it worked.

This is the crux of the article – interesting solution and nice to see this scheme of agriculture working in conjunction with the natural environment to protect wildlife!

Sallygap, in Wicklow, still has loads of skylarks, thankfully.
