I was surprised how cheap hedging is . Bought some good thorn for £38/ 100 . I like to plant a bit every year . Beach was about the same

Yes hedging plants are very economical.
Do a little every year helps strengthen hedges and mend gaps.

Aerial view of the same field.
Note the bramble patches for habitat, islands for wildfowl nesting, banks for water voles and an artificial sand martin nest that is so far unoccupied.

Anyone got decent populations of Linnets, Yellowhammers or Tree Sparrows?

Several pairs of yellow hammer sited by bird experts here.
Last week an otolan bunting.
A very pretty bird, the French love them like below.

An abundance of goldfinches here mid summer always plus a few yellowhammers.
Goldfinches are usually in little groups.
Goldfinches are usually in little groups.
We had the rspb here a few years ago counting birds to compare between farms that were and weren't in the old tir gofal and the then new glastir. He was very exited to find tree sparrows here. He said there were a lot of them too mostly in a Holly hedge right next to the house.
Btw his conclusion about the environment schemes was that they don't make much difference that good hedges and keeping of top of predators make more difference than anything else. Whether he could say that in his official role as an rspb employee who do so well out of said schemes on their reserves is another matter
I was quite exited to see a pair of goldfinches in one hedge here by the road a few years ago. I counted 8 there a couple of weeks ago

Regularly see plenty of pied wagtails about the farm and yard here.
See the occasional yellow wagtail too but not very often.
