Two farms, each containing a different biomass crop (Miscanthus and willow), were visited and surveyed for their birdlife. This report provides a snapshot of the birds using each farm in June 2024.

This field report follows on from the previous winter bird surveys conducted at two farms, one in Devon and the other in Somerset. One farm had a mixed age willow crop, while the other had a Miscanthus crop.

This report outlines a three-day bird survey conducted at two farms, one in Devon and the other in Somerset. One farm had a mixed age willow crop, while the other had a miscanthus crop. The aim of the surveys was to record and map the birds seen at each farm to see what benefits each crop may have for different species.

This Consultation Workshop Report identified the main challenges for the industry, the major opportunities and made recommendations to Biomass Connect on how to improve its continued support of the industry. The report took the comments and core points from the workshop, expanded on them and took into consideration other factors to provide a fuller picture to a broader audience.
