European Stonechat is a gorgeous bird & an exception among decreasing #FarmlandBirds in Belgium: population increased 4-fold since 2000. Why is #stonechat so successful in man-made landscape?

In our study area, stonechats can choose b/w 3 habitats: clear-cut, grassland & Christmas-tree plantations (CTP) a non-food perennial crop. A previous study shown this crop is offering a higher bird diversity than grassland when hedgerows are scarce. 2/10 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
But is this a good idea for stonechat to breed in intensive Christmas-tree crop? We compared fitness-related parameters between these 3 anthropogenic habitats. First, ♂️♂️ prefer clear-cut over the 2 other habitats as they are reoccupied earlier after spring migration 3/10

@Natures_Voice Now @Tomfinch89 shows that combining high-yield farmland with natural habitat and low-yield farmland can reconcile conflict between food production and nature conservation @RSPBScience @_BTO @CamZoology @savebutterflies and @NaturalEngland.
