:10:18. > :10:24.species from certain areas. RSPB claim that farmland birds have
:10:24. > :10:31.fallen 50%. The question is whether we can't afford to protect our

:10:36. > :10:43.habitat here is not so good. There are not so many opportunities for

:10:52. > :11:00.I will show you what part of the problem is for these foreign land
:11:00. > :11:04.birds. What can we see? Not a great deal. This winter cereal does not
:11:04. > :11:08.have any opportunities for farmland birds. There is no food here for
:11:08. > :11:14.them. In the past they would have been stubble which would have

:12:53. > :13:00.trot out the mantra, it is agricultural intensification that
:13:00. > :13:05.is to blame. That cannot be the only factor here? No, nor would the

:15:17. > :15:23.didn't get paid. Possibly on the better land, but on the less
:15:23. > :15:28.productive land I think we'd carry The stewardship certainly. So it's
:15:29. > :15:31.something you personally feel is important to do? Yeah, I hold it

:15:54. > :16:01.Do you think farmers have been unfairly blamed for the decline of
:16:01. > :16:03.farmland birds? Yes I do, the intensification
:16:03. > :16:06.started thirty forty years ago, in the 1960s, 1970s, it's constantly
:16:06. > :16:09.mentioned the whole time. It's changed now, things have changed
:16:09. > :16:12.dramatically over the last few years. A lot of us have joined

:16:21. > :16:28.doing regular bird surveys here and we're seeing our bird index on this

:16:46. > :16:47.
:16:47. > :16:49.just time that's needed for bird numbers to recover.
:16:50. > :16:52.Is there a danger Robert that there's too much emphasis on
:16:52. > :16:55.protecting wildlife, rather than producing food for a growing
:16:55. > :16:58.population? Look we all accept there's room for both, right, but
:16:58. > :17:00.it's about getting the balance right. I'm all in favour of having
:17:00. > :17:07.conservation, doing environmental things, but doing it on a voluntary
:17:07. > :17:12.basis, targeted on the right areas. Research has shown. Everyone agrees
:17:12. > :17:14.that you don't have to do an awful lot to make a big difference. If
:17:14. > :17:17.you've got Grade One land, intensive vegetable land, roast
:17:17. > :17:25.potatoes, carrots, those sorts of crops, that's what you ought to be
:17:25. > :17:28.doing. If you're on land like I'm farming. It's more marginal, it's
:17:28. > :17:32.less productive, then you can put areas into habitats for farmland
:17:32. > :17:42.birds, but it's got to be done on a voluntary basis and it's got to be
:17:42. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:46.targeted in the right areas. RSPB regularly carries out surveys
:17:46. > :17:55.on the number of farmland birds but warm some there's still a real
:17:55. > :17:58.danger that some farmland birds could disappear completely.
:17:58. > :18:06.Ultimately, Simon, why should we be fussed about the long time future
:18:06. > :18:09.of farmland birds? Well, farmland birds are a barometer of our
:18:09. > :18:11.environment, so if they are doing well it is quite likely that a
:18:11. > :18:14.range of different wildlife is doing well.
:18:14. > :18:17.But farmers are being asked to produce security of food supply,
:18:17. > :18:20.and ultimately if we lose a few farmland birds along the way isn't
:18:20. > :18:23.that a price worth paying? Well, no, and of course it matters
