Met a truly remarkable landowner 3 wks ago. Farm tour of hedges surrounding his fields dedicated to wild bird cover crops.
He was kind enough to let me return, collect seed and observe it more closely.
Surrounded by conventional farming many traditional farm birds flock to feed in the winter 1/2

Shot over six years across four continents, ‘The Anthropocene Illusion’ is a disturbing insight into a world in which the natural world is replaced by spectacle
