Despite there being very few birds around Crit, it was great to see good numbers of Yellowhammers around the farms. Yellowhammers are one of the several 'farmland species' that have suffered in the UK from intense farming and the use of pesticides!! Traditional farming methods are still used in Crit, and the benefits to the wildlife are easy to see.
