- •
We studied birds and cereal management in machair, a Scottish HNV farming system.
- •
Bird use of stubbles was compared, following either modern or traditional harvesting.
- •
Combine harvesters could give stubbles as bird-rich as traditional harvesting.
- •
But harvesting as arable silage produced stubbles of little value to birds.
- •
Studies can help identify nature-friendly modernisations for HNV farming systems.
