Traditional farming methods favour Linnets...

Linnets (Linaria cannabina) flock over 'The Vile' feeding on the linseed after the harvest in England.   This pioneering new project has  involved reverting back to traditional 1940s farming methods and has transformed a stretch of Welsh coastline, near Rhossli, Swansea.  The Vile, as this farming landscape is known, has transformed a stretch of coastline here into a haven for rare animals, birds and wildflowers; boosting numbers in some instances by more than 300%!
