A Corn Bunting singing on Barra, Barraigh. These birds still breed on the machair of the Outer Hebrides, where traditional farming methods of the crofting way of life (minimal use of herbicides for example) have preserved the food grains they rely on, whereas in other areas of the country, serious decline is in evidence where modern methods of farming are in use.
